The Train Trailer and Trailer Wizards merger was completed Dec. 30, and TIP Fleet Services Canada officially began to operate Jan. 1.

TIP Trailer Services has a presence in 18 countries, and more than 140 service locations.
“Over the past years, we have transformed TIP into one of the most efficient and reliable commercial trailer leasing, rental and maintenance companies in the world while reinvesting behind our brand and continuing our relentless commitment to quality and innovation,” said Bob Fast, president and CEO of TIP Trailer Services.
“With the successful merger of our two customer focused companies, we are creating a strong platform for the Canadian business. We are extremely proud of our team who have worked tirelessly throughout a challenging year to complete the work leading to this result,” said Rick Kloepfer, president of TIP Canada.
