MIAMI — Miami-based COOP by Ryder, the truck and trailer sharing platform that connects fleet owners with idle vehicles to businesses needing rental vehicles, is expanding the platform to North Carolina.
Fleet owners in North Carolina with idle vans, box trucks, tractors, and trailers, can now rent vehicles when they are not in use, creating additional revenue streams for businesses.
North Carolina is a national transportation hub with a robust trucking and logistics industry, which will benefit significantly from a leading truck and trailer sharing platform like COOP.
There are also over 21,000 trucking companies in North Carolina, and a majority are small, locally-owned businesses that serve their local communities – by using COOP, these small businesses will be able to keep their vehicles in use and on the roads.
The expansion also includes Tennessee and California and the announcement comes on the heels of the program’s successful rollout in Georgia, Florida, and Texas.
“COOP has scaled quickly and we are seeing rapid adoption of the truck and trailer sharing concept,” said Romain Rousseau, general manager for COOP by Ryder announcing the expansion.
“The platform provides a great way to flex your fleet up and down, something that traditional vehicle ownership doesn’t necessarily offer. Our customers use the platform to rent vehicles to support their demand peaks, but also to generate revenue on their idle vehicles when activity slows down.”
Since its inception in 2018, COOP has experienced 250% year-over-year growth and now counts thousands of vehicles accessible in each state, including vans, box trucks, tractors, and trailers.
