It’s a subtle remembrance. On the left-hand corner on every exterior door of its 62 fleet trucks are the initials of Todd Hubbard, founder of Hubbard’s Express. “It’s something important to me,” said his son, Blake. “He started this company in 1983 when he was 21 years old and left us too soon at the age of 54. It’s a way to remember his legacy and his dedication to building a business based on customer service.” Hubbard’s Express is a thriving air freight company based adjacent to the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport – one of busiest hubs for air freight in the United States, surpassing 1 million tons of cargo annually in 2022. It has a fleet of 30 straight trucks, a combination of Peterbilt and Kenworth medium-duty trucks, along with 28 Peterbilt Model 579 day cabs. All are on a full-service lease with PacLease. The company also operates four delivery vans and has a team of 100 employees....

With 26 fabrication plants and more than 3,000 employees across the U.S. and Canada, Trulite is a leader when it comes to manufacturing and selling glass and aluminum solutions for those in the building community. Its product line consists of office partitions, railings, entrance doors, storefront systems – even showers -- to name a few. While its products are top-of-the-line, so too are its sales and service. To ensure timely deliveries, each Trulite branch has its own fleet of trucks, making the company a one-stop-shop from fabrication to delivery. “You can have the best product in the world, but if you can’t back that up with service and on-time delivery, then you’ll have problems,” said Dominic Leclerc, who is the General Manager for the Montreal branch of Trulite. “It’s why we rely on PacLease for our trucks. We worked with PacLease before we were acquired by Trulite in 2018, so we knew about the quality of Kenworths and the service PacLease provided to keep us on the go. Plus, we knew how leasing simplified cost accounting. We know what to expect in our bill every month.”...
