Feb 17, 2021

American Trailer Rental Group (ATRG) is a family of companies with a rental fleet approaching 16,000+ units representing some of America's most respected regional trailer rental providers. ATRG operates under the Meisler Trailer Rental (Meisler), First in Trailer Service (FITS), Fleet Trailer Rental (Fleet), Advantage Trailer Rental (Advantage), and Arizona Storage Rentals (ASR) brands with operations in Evansville IN, Nashville, and Memphis, TN, Walton and Louisville, KY, Cincinnati and Columbus OH, Kansas City, KS, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Longview, TX, Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Tucson AZ.  

ATRG announced the expansion of the Meisler Trailer Rental brand to the greater St. Louis market. This strategic expansion helps ATRG bridge the gap between Evansville, Indiana and Kansas City, Kansas locations.    

ATRG  also announced that industry veteran Mike Burk has joined their team as General Manager and will lead efforts in St. Louis. Mike has 10+ years' experience in trailer space, most recently with Cooling Concepts, LLC, a refrigerated trailer leasing company. He has extensive knowledge of the St. Louis market and surrounding areas and he will look to leverage that knowledge to help Meisler grow quickly.

ATRG CEO Jonathan Brooks said, "This important expansion continues our strategic objective to build a national footprint via greenfield developments and strategic acquisitions. St Louis is a natural fit for our next greenfield location given the substantial manufacturing and distribution presence there. Under Mike's leadership we stand ready to serve the storage, cartage, and over the road trailer needs of our customers throughout the region."
