Palmer Full-Service Leasing/Renting:
We believe that we must approach business with the customer's objectives in mind and truly become
their trusted advisor. We must first listen to what they are saying and to what they need, before
we can ever hope to offer any definitive solutions. We have always believed in the "win/win"
philosophy. We sincerely believe that we should not tell the customer how much we know before
we demonstrate to them how much we care. If it is good for our customer and it is good for the
Palmer Leasing Group, then we have a basis for moving forward. We have been a part of the local
business community for over forty (40) years. We have consistency and longevity with our management
teams, so that means that we will be around to ensure that what we say today will be carried out
tomorrow. We are here for the long haul.
We offer our customers premium equipment that features customized specifications. We believe that this
commitment to quality helps our customers improve efficiencies, improve fuel economy and to help them
retain and attract professional drivers. In today's business environment, a company's emphasis, both
strategically and operationally, should be focused on its core business. The answer to the question,
"Should I lease or buy?" is never the same for any two companies. By carefully examining your needs
and reviewing the benefits of your alternatives (buying trucks, leasing trucks or hiring a trucking
firm) you'll reach the most cost-efficient decision.
Palmer Leasing Offers the Following Programs:
Full-Service Leasing
For many private fleets, a full-service lease with Palmer Leasing is the best way to meet their
transportation needs. A full-service lease frees working capital, provides accurate cost accounting
and professional transportation management. A Palmer Leasing full-service lease can provide a company
with a myriad of services including preventive maintenance, emergency roadside service, safety and
insurance programs, permitting and licensing, fuel programs and more.

Rental Equipment
Palmer Leasing has late model Kenworth equipment to help you meet a sudden increase in your business,
or fill a need caused by an unexpected accident, or to look at a new piece of business that you want
to be sure can be profitable. If you have peak season needs or just the occasional extra load to be
hauled, we have the same quality Kenworth tractors or both CDL and Non-CDL straight trucks available-dry
van and refrigerated units, with power tail gates. Our tractor fleet is comprised of tandem and single
axle units in sleeper and non sleeper configurations.

Finance Leasing
Truck financing that optimizes the customer's financial, tax, cash flow and residual goals into a

benefits that can enhance this product. The bank or financial institution owns the equipment and often
offers a buyback to the operator after the lease expires.

Fleet owners can save time and effort by taking advantage of Palmer Leasing contract maintenance programs.
These programs ensure that your fleet is maintained by a team of professionals and can be customized to

inventory of parts - we do all that for you.
