Pro Leasing Services

What Pro Leasing Services does

Pro Leasing Services (PLS) is a Sterling Heights, Michigan-based commercial fleet vehicle leasing and management company founded in 1993. It serves trade and delivery operators across the United States, including electrical contractors, HVAC and plumbing firms, construction and utility contractors, FedEx Ground independent contractors, franchise businesses, rental companies, and executive fleets, delivering vehicles nationwide within five business days and offering fleet lines of credit up to $10M with 48-hour financing approvals on a fee-free basis.

PLS's core offering bundles vehicle financing, upfitting coordination with partners such as Altec, TEREX, Versalift, and Adrian Steel, chassis sourcing from Ford and Freightliner, and lifecycle fleet management supported by its proprietary A.E.Q. Solution platform. Each customer is assigned a dedicated Pro Fleet Advisor, and the company integrates telematics, maintenance oversight, and remarketing into a single multi-year lease relationship. The product surface has been extended to include electric fleet vehicles, franchise network solutions, executive fleet leasing, and rental fleet programs, broadening the addressable customer base beyond its historical trade and contractor base.

The business model generates revenue from the spread on financed fleet assets, lease payments, upfit coordination, and lifecycle service fees, while differentiating through a fee-free credit structure. PLS monetizes long-term customer relationships across multi-year vehicle replacement cycles, anchored by a multi-decade partnership with FedEx Ground and a network of OEM and upfitter relationships that allow specification of complete, ready-to-deploy vehicles. The company is a private LLC with 11-50 employees, with Jon Boguth as Vice President and Andrew Schaecher as Operations Manager among the disclosed leadership.
