Pave the way to greater career opportunities at XTRA Lease!
XTRA Lease helps driven entry-level professionals start their career on a path toward growth. As the nation's leader in semi-trailer in renting and leasing, our ManagementTrainee position will teach you the ins-and-outs of managing a rental facility within the national supply chain, all while growing your skills in customer service, fleet management, vendor relations, invoicing, business leadership, and more.
Why XTRA?
-Industry leading brand with a proven record of promoting from within

Over the course of 1-3 years, you'll work alongside experienced business operations and sales managers who will mentor and coach you as you hone your skills. You don't need to be an expert on semi-trailers or business management when you start- we'll teach you! A typical day as a ManagementTrainee may include:
Serving customers like PepsiCo and FedEx when they need trailers, helping to determine their equipment needs, and explaining all of our trailer-rental options.
Inspecting trailers using a hand-held device which includes checking for damage or equipment problems inside and underneath the trailer.

-Employees who display mastery in our customer communication standards, above-and-beyond commitment to the success of our business and an eagerness to win deals may be selected to receive additional training in Business-to-Business (B2B) Outside Sales.

Trainees who excel in this field may be selected to promote into the role of Assistant Branch Manager, traveling regularly within a defined geographic territory to grow our customer base and meet the needs of existing clients.
-After your first promotion and relocation with XTRA Lease, you'll be eligible for continued growth opportunity.
