About Trailer Equipment Inc., Trailer X-Press Inc.
Founded in 1982 with just three trailers for rent or lease, Trailer X-Press began as a humble operation with big ambitions.
In 1985, Trailer Equipment Inc. was launched with a small but determined team consisting of one salesman, an office clerk and a mechanic. By 1989, the company's growth necessitated a move to a larger facility in Grand Rapids, Mich.
In 2023, the company relocated to a new facility in Byron Center, Mich., uniting the trailer dealership and rental fleet under one roof. This facility is set to revolutionize the trucking industry, ranking among the largest trailer repair shops in the nation, according to the company.
The team has grown to more than 120 employees across two locations, with 32 trailer service bays in Byron Center and eight in Westland, Mich. The mobile service fleet has expanded to more than 15 trucks, and offers thousands of trailer parts and supplies to meet every need.
