What Transportation Equipment Network does

Transportation Equipment Network (TEN) is a North American full-service trailer leasing company formed in 2024 through the unification of multiple legacy operators including Star Leasing, Cooling Concepts, NETS, CTL, TIP Canada, and Boston Trailer under the ownership of private equity firm I Squared Capital. TEN operates the largest trailer fleet in North America with more than 86,000 trailers supported by approximately 49 service locations, 249 service bays, 105+ mobile service trucks, 400 mechanics, and roughly 1,000 employees. The company serves customers across retail, manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, e-commerce, construction, and third-party logistics verticals, offering multi-year full-service leases that bundle the trailer, maintenance, telematics, and roadside service into a single contract.

TEN's technology stack centers on the My TEN Portal and TEN Mobile App customer interfaces, backed by Trailer Telematics infrastructure that delivers predictive maintenance alerts, real-time anomaly detection, and automated inspection workflows. Sub-brands TEN Cool (refrigerated), TEN Space (storage and mobile), and TEN Ready (specialized) extend the platform into adjacent verticals beyond standard dry-van leasing. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring full-service lease contracts with embedded maintenance and telematics, supplemented by short-term rental income and standalone service revenue. The go-to-market combines enterprise fleet deals (exemplified by a disclosed $50M agreement with USA Truck) with mid-market and regional accounts served through the dense service location network, with named customers including Evans Network, Steam Logistics, and Fura.

Strategic momentum is supported by approximately $600M in reported funding from Mubadala and Qatar Investment Authority routed through I Squared Capital, a continued M&A cadence with the Boston Trailer acquisition completed in November 2024 and TIP Canada in 2024, and recent senior leadership appointments including CEO Hooman Yazhari (November 2025), COO Ari Silkey from Amazon Freight (June 2026) to lead AI initiatives, and SVP Mark Domzalski (May 2026). The company combines asset-heavy operating scale with applied AI capabilities aimed at improving fleet utilization and reducing maintenance cost per trailer.
