If your company operates its own fleet, chances are you’ve already felt the sting of rising liability insurance premiums. Over the last decade, transportation-related lawsuits have surged in size and frequency—especially “nuclear verdicts,” where jury awards exceed $10 million. These cases don’t just impact the companies directly involved, they drive up insurance rates across the board, making it harder for businesses of every size to stay protected without breaking the bank.
For companies trying to manage their own transportation operations, this creates a costly and dangerous risk. But with Aim’s Dedicated Contract Carriage solution, there’s a better way forward.
Aim Transportation Solutions recently opened its doors for a unique career exploration event at its headquarters in Girard, OH: “I Want to Work in Trucking When I Grow Up.” Designed to introduce kids to the world of transportation through fun, hands-on experiences, the event welcomed a local Girl Scout troop along with children of Aim employees.
Arnold Comer has been driving with Aim for nearly nine years, currently supporting the Hydro account out of Gainesville, GA. Originally from Philadelphia, trucking is in his blood. “My dad drove for Greyhound, and I come from a long line of drivers,” Arnold said. “It just made sense for me to follow that path.”
In today’s volatile transportation and economic landscapes, companies are being forced to adapt quickly—or risk falling behind. Freight volumes have been unpredictable for more than two years, diesel prices continue to climb, professional drivers are still hard to come by, and tariff uncertainty still casts a shadow over supply chains. For businesses trying to manage their own fleets through it all, the cost, risk, and complexity have become overwhelming.
Continuing its commitment to open communication, Aim Transportation Solutions held its fourth annual Aim Talks discussion, a virtual townhall-style event that builds on the company’s longstanding open-door policy. This forum gives Aim’s senior leaders the opportunity to share updates, address current priorities, spotlight future initiatives, and showcase the hard work and dedication of Aim’s employees across all departments.
Aim Transportation Solutions has successfully completed a multi-year transition of Olympic Steel’s remaining private fleet operations to its dedicated contract carriage service under Aim Integrated Logistics. This milestone marks a significant expansion of a 16-plus-year partnership, underscoring the mutual trust and long-term collaboration between the two companies.
As the summer season intensifies, so does the pressure on transportation and logistics networks across the country. Freight volumes increase, roadside breakdowns spike in the heat, and new vehicle lead times remain long. These challenges are pushing businesses to find quick, reliable solutions—and for many, that solution is Aim’s rental trucks and trailers.
Unexpected truck breakdowns don’t just take a vehicle off the road—they disrupt delivery schedules, strain resources, and drive up costs. That’s why preventive maintenance is crucial. By addressing small issues before they become major problems, it helps extend vehicle life, improve reliability, and ultimately save your business valuable time and money.
In today’s fast-moving and unpredictable economic environment, companies that rely on transportation face constant pressure to do more with less—less capital, less risk and less downtime. With inflation still weighing on operational costs, looming tariffs increasing the price of new equipment and skilled diesel technicians in short supply, more businesses are rethinking how they manage their fleets. One increasingly strategic choice? Full-service truck leasing.
Owning trucks outright may seem like a way to save money. That is until unexpected repair bills, compliance issues or idle assets start to eat away at a company’s bottom line. Full-service leasing shifts that risk to your leasing partner, like Aim Transportation Solutions.
Aim Transportation Solutions was honored with the Gold Level NationaLease Exceptional Service Award—a top recognition voted on by fellow NationaLease members for outstanding service and support across the network— at the 2025 NationaLease Maintenance Managers Meeting, held May 13–15 at the Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld.
