In 1972, METRO TRUCK & TRACTOR LEASING opened for business with two trucks; and a belief that personalized service and meticulously maintained vehicles were the keys to a successful truck-leasing business.
At that time, METRO offered an exclusive on-site maintenance program through which extensively equipped mobile service units and highly skilled mechanics were sent to the customer's location for routine preventive maintenance procedures. That service -- and the no mileage charges' policy that METRO has also offered since its founding -- has been an important part of METRO's success over the years.
METRO operates in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. METRO's primary trading market - the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan area - is the fourth largest market in the United States. Both the history and the growth potential for this market are excellent. METRO's future expansion will emcompass the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
