Echo teams with Wabash to scale drop trailer services and enhance flexible freight solutions nationwide.

A new partnership was announced today by Wabash, a leading provider of a variety of solutions that maximize customer’s end-to-end supply chains in the infrastructure, logistics, and transportation sectors, and Echo Global Logistics, Inc., a resulting provider of logistics and transportation services made possible by technology.

Through the cooperation, Echo will be able to take advantage of Wabash's trailer solutions expertise in order to meet the increasing demand for flexible freight options. Echo may acquire capacity on demand without the hassle of fleet ownership by incorporating TaaS into its operations. Echo can increase the scope of its custom drop trailer freight services and give its customers more value with this complete solution.

Jay Gustafson, Executive Vice President of Brokerage Operations at Echo, emphasized that drop trailers play a central role in enhancing efficiency for both shippers and carriers and noted that Wabash's Trailers as a Service solution supports Echo’s goal of streamlining transportation management. In order to satisfy clients' evolving needs and promote creativity and business expansion, he noted that the partnership combines Wabash's modern trailer solutions with Echo's freight knowledge to provide an effortless and scalable offering.

With its extensive countrywide network of dealers and selected partners, Wabash's TaaS offers a scalable solution that combines telemetry, maintenance, and repair with trailer capacity. This completely, managed-care model reduces operational inefficiencies related to fleet management, allowing Echo to concentrate on providing dependable, modern freight solutions.

This arrangement marks a significant turning point for Echo as it grows its drop trailer program to align with its leadership position in the market. In a congested market, Echo may boldly pursue new opportunities and further differentiate its goods with Wabash's TaaS platform.
