About Penn Intermodal Leasing, LLC

In 1988, Penn Intermodal Leasing, LLC., began by leasing chassis to steamship carriers and intermodal transporters. Very quickly the company’s founder realized that there was a need for chassis specially designed to move heavy and overweight loads. Expanding on the standard chassis business Penn Intermodal invested in developing a fleet of specialized chassis to move heavy loads and liquid bulk freight.

At the time,  industry compliance with respect to overweight shipments was minimal. Penn Intermodal Leasing, an intermodal equipment provider, assisted with educating the intermodal industry on the engineering, safety considerations, and the additional revenue to be earned from shipping heavy containers. Compliant shipments of overweight freight gradually increased as a result of growing awareness of the economic value of adhering to safety standards and the reduced operating costs of utilizing specialized chassis. Penn continues to support innovation within the intermodal industry and regularly offer to educate customers on new developments in special purpose chassis. Penn Intermodal Leasing grew with the intermodal industry by pioneering the specialized chassis business and by providing exceptional customer service, building long term relationships with customers, vendors and industry professionals.

Personal Service

Every employee at Penn Intermodal Leasing is a knowledgeable professional who will work with you to meet your business needs. For example, when a major chemical manufacturer contacted us about a potential order, still uncertain as to whether they would receive the delivery.  If the order was received they would need six (6) chassis immediately.  Penn Intermodal Leasing staged the chassis at the depot before the final offer was configured.  When the order arrived, the lease was signed, and customer delivery times were met.

Case Study

Case Study – Special Purpose Chassis

Our clients have diverse priorities, but they all share the desire to minimize the obstacles to getting their freight on the road.

When an international chemical and specialty materials manufacturer requested a regional trucker to move bulk freight from Wichita Falls to Houston, TX the trucker contacted Penn Intermodal Leasing to identify the appropriate chassis for this specialized load.  Penn’s CEO personally flew to the factory and walked the floor to assess the cargo and understand the freight and the way it was loaded.  Penn in turn provided the appropriate solution: a Tri-Axle Chassis that readily handled the overweight load.
