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.

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.
