Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Although our new division has just started up as of this year, our company as a whole has been in the rental and leasing business for commercial trucking customers for 50 years in the Erie area.
What is your primary product or service?
Our primary service here at Benco is to provide our commercial customers with the trucks, tractors, and or trailers they need to maximize their logistics capabilities. Whether a company might need one truck for one day to get them out of a pinch, or if they need multiple units for a number of days or months, we're here to suit the customers needs.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Our CEO first came into the business when he took over his Uncle's produce company. He has been in trucking ever since the 1950's.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We have specialized equipment to cater to just about any situation our customers may come across. We encourage our customers to call in and let us know what they are dealing with because we feel they will be pleasantly surprised with the flexibility we can offer them. We have reefer trailers, pup reefers, dayscrew cabs, sleeper cabs, 48' and 53' trailers, curtainside, drop deck and double drop trailers available.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently operate out of our Erie location only. With our affiliation with NationaLease, our customers can receive service across the country no matter where they go. So it is as if we are already expanded to have locations coast-to-coast. This helps us continue to be able to give you the hometown touch when it comes to customizing your rental and leasing plan, while giving you nation-wide coverage in case you have an emergency or breakdown.
