XTRA Lease is the leader in the semi-trailer rental industry in North America. We’re not truckers, but we’re proud to support the transportation industry. For more than 50 years, our team has focused on providing “the box” to trucking companies that supply manufacturing plants, grocery stores, and distribution centers with the products used in daily life. And as a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, we have the financial backing to support our customers, and give our employees a level of stability that’s hard to beat.
Your Role
Our Sales Management Trainee/Assistant Branch Manager position offers job training and mentorship for the next stage in your career: a B2B Sales Branch Manager at one of our other 46 nationwide rental facilities.

- Managing customer accounts including helping with credit and collections.
