Our Mission

Solving Daily Challenges for Freight Movers with Smarter Chassis Solutions

Trend exists to simplify intermodal logistics. We do this by providing dependable, high-quality chassis leasing solutions that are built for real-world operations and designed to reduce downtime and improve fleet efficiency. 

The company was founded in New Jersey in 2013 by Ayman Awad, a seasoned intermodal expert who noticed critical gaps in the market and envisioned a better approach—one rooted in innovation and customer needs. That vision gained momentum in 2023 when ITE Management invested in Trend to accelerate its growth.

Designed for Truckers
Our Chassis are designed with truckers’ needs in mind: easy to operate, tech-enabled for safety and efficiency, and always ready when and where you need them.

Supporting Managers & Dispatchers
Dispatchers, operational managers, and logistics leaders are constantly juggling uptime and cost. Our solutions and service reduce complexity and simplify decision making.

Trend’s edge isn’t just our equipment—it’s our approach. We pair a young, well-equipped fleet with values that keep our customers moving:

  • Multi-loading chassis for dual-container flexibility and fewer non-revenue moves.
  • One of the youngest, most reliable fleets in the industry, equipped with GPS and PSI technology.
  • Strong northeastern U.S. presence, with responsive, flexible leasing terms.
  • Deep expertise, gained through decades in the field.
  • Agility and adaptability in a rapidly evolving logistics landscape
  • Uncompromising quality that drives real results

Looking Ahead

Continuous Innovation. Strategic Expansion.

Our customers stay with us because we keep evolving. As new challenges emerge, we’re improving our chassis and streamlining our processes—keeping you ahead of the curve.

We’re also expanding strategically beyond our strong presence in the northeastern United States to serve more markets with the same responsive excellence. The resources and capital support of ITE Management are helping enable rapid, scalable growth and reliability.
