BELLEVUE, Wash., April 23, 2012 — Full-service leasing seems to be on the minds of many Georgian fleet managers and owners as PACCAR Leasing Company (PacLease) announces the opening of three new franchise locations in the Atlanta area.
“Our location growth in Georgia and across the United States is partly driven by the need for fleets to meet maintenance requirements under CSA as well as dealing with new federal regulations involving hours of service,” said PacLease President Neil Vonnahme. “By having PacLease handle the maintenance, companies can be assured that all maintenance issues are addressed quickly and efficiently. Also, PacLease can help fleets choose truck specifications that will help drivers remain productive while getting the rest they need during mandatory breaks.”
PacLease’s location growth is also being driven by a variety of new economic activity throughout the United States and Canada, Vonnahme added.
PACCAR dealers also find that customers are increasingly looking at full-service leasing as a way to acquire popular Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks with comfortable driver features to attract good drivers, Vonnahme said.
“Customers see full-service leasing as a viable alternative to buying and replacing aging equipment,” he added. “Private fleets are increasingly turning to new truck technology to help them reduce fuel costs as well as their greenhouse gas emissions. And full-service leasing can help them accomplish that goal by taking the spec’ing and maintenance guesswork out of the equation.”
PacLease announces new franchise locations at the following locations:
