We, at ARI, have not forgotten what brought us to where we are today—that is the reason we continue our focus on being reliable, being on time and delivering quality service at a fair price. Our standards and goals are high—we don’t believe in or settle for anything less. We are passionate about delivering more than expected and determined to maintain customer satisfaction. Quality, reliability and value remain at the core of ARI’s relationship with the USPS.

Trailer Leasing

ARI has provided trailer leasing services to the Postal Service. We have had trailer pools set up at various postal facilities across the nation. The Postal Service used our trailers in the transportation of U.S. Mail and mail transport equipment (MTE). The trailers were equipped with a GPS tracking system. The maintenance and repair for these trailers were provided at each location. Our rigorous preventative maintenance program ensured the equipment provided was always in good working order.
