What C.m.d. Trailer Sales & Leasing, Inc. does

C.m.d. Trailer Sales & Leasing, Inc. is a privately held, locally owned trailer dealership founded in 1990 and headquartered on Barth Road in Jacksonville, Florida, near the Port of Jacksonville, I-295, and I-10 corridor. The company's core business is the sale of new and used semi-trailers, including dump trailers, flatbeds, drop decks, dry vans, live floor trailers, pneumatic dry bulk tankers, and chip trailers, with semi-trucks handled on a consignment-only basis. CMD operates as Florida's authorized dealer for two manufacturers, Trailstar (aluminum end dump trailers) and ITI (Innovative Trailer Innovations, for chip, live floor, and walking floor trailers), which enables custom trailer ordering for buyers with specialized cargo or job site requirements. Revenue streams include direct trailer sales (one-time transactions), consignment services (transaction fees for marketing and selling customer-owned units), leasing (recurring), parts and accessories (Hallco Live Floors, Keith Walking Floors, Shurco, Aero, Mountain Tarp), and financing facilitation through third-party lenders accessed via the DCR Portal and Trnsact platforms. The company has no proprietary technology platform and operates a traditional dealership model. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining a physical Jacksonville lot with phone/text sales support (855-637-2800), a website with detailed inventory listings and photography, and nationwide shipping to customers across the United States. Target customers include owner-operators (with explicit focus on first-time buyers), fleet owners of various sizes, and heavy-duty hauling operations in construction and bulk material transport.
