You don't need to be a trailer expert when you start- we'll teach you

  • Consistent Monday-Friday schedule
  • Opportunity to earn commission in addition to base rate

  • Managing customer accounts including helping with credit and collections.
  • Verifying customer insurance coverage.
  • Assigning repair work to vendors and XTRA Lease trailer mechanics.
  • Using technology to perform inventories, manage equipment, and other operational tasks.
  • Completing training assignments to prepare you for your next role as an Operations Manager, in charge of customer service and employee supervision at your own rental branch.
  • Occasional paid travel to include:

-Weeklong trip to St. Louis MO as part of our semiannual New Employee Orientation, complete with teambuilding activities and seminars covering XTRA's role in the supply chain.

-At least one visit to another of our nationwide rental branches for cross-training and performance evaluation opportunity.


Job Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required
  • 1-2 years of customer service experience
  • Willing to relocate upon promotion into an Operations Manager role (once fully trained, usually between 1-3 years of hire. Relocation assistance is provided as most of our Managers are promoted out-of-state to one of our other 46 nationwide branch locations.)
  • Leadership or supervisory experience preferred.


Skills you'll need to succeed at XTRA Lease:

  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills.
  • Strong organization skills; including the ability to multitask and prioritize work.
  • Strong customer service skills; including the ability to handle customer complaints and resolve issues to ensure a satisfactory resolution.
  • Ability to facilitate difficult conversations through performance discussions with vendors.
  • Management and leadership qualities; including ability to train, and develop skills of lower level employees.
  • Ability to recognize opportunities for process improvement and recommend possible solutions.


The people who succeed as Operations Management Trainees with XTRA are self-motivated, critical-thinking, and conscientious. They have a strong work ethic and enjoy new challenges. It’s also important for you to have excellent verbal and written communication skills. You will receive on-the-job training in all aspects of our business followed by ongoing safety training and certifications. Since we prefer to promote from within, you’ll also receive mentoring to prepare for the next level of your career as an Operations Manager. Your hard work and professional dedication will earn rewards of a competitive compensation package that includes full benefits.
