Mercer Trailer Leasing offers 48' flatbeds and 53' step decks. Inventory, manufacturers, models, years, payments, and lease terms are subject to change.

Call, email, or contact Mercer Trailer Leasing through the website to request the current availability list. Our team will explain the available equipment and the next steps in the leasing process.

Depending on the trailer, the list may include the trailer number, year, make, model, monthly payment, lease terms, and the number of months remaining on the lease.

No. Trailer numbers are assigned by Mercer Trailer Leasing based on internal equipment-numbering requirements. For Mercer Transportation contractors, the assignment may also reflect the contractor’s unit number and previous trailer-leasing history.

Step-deck availability is limited, and additional eligibility requirements may apply. Mercer Transportation contractors may be evaluated using factors such as service performance, safety standing, outstanding loans, and revenue.

Mercer Transportation contractors interested in a step deck should contact Robbie Coogle or Matt Heintzman about the waiting list.

Trailer lease payments are made monthly. The payment method and any applicable deductions will be explained during the leasing process.

For contractors leased to Mercer Transportation, the trailer payment is included in the contractor’s monthly deductions.

During an active lease, Mercer Trailer Leasing handles the trailer’s registration, licensing, license plates, registration renewals, and related documentation.
