Case Study: United Furniture Industries achieves greater flexibility and uptime with Penske Truck Leasing

United Furniture Industries improves nationwide deliveries across 48 states with Penske

United Furniture Industries, a furniture manufacturer based in Mississippi, needed a nationwide transportation solution to support its deliveries to 1,400 stores across 48 states. Their challenge was to gain flexibility, improve uptime, and focus on their core business of building furniture rather than truck maintenance. They partnered with vendor Penske Truck Leasing for a comprehensive leasing and maintenance program.

Penske provided a full-service leasing strategy that included nationwide maintenance coverage, 24/7 roadside assistance, and access to short-term rental vehicles for increased flexibility. This solution improved uptime by ensuring quick repairs or replacements, helped the company retain drivers by providing well-equipped and comfortable trucks, and enhanced safety. As a result, United Furniture Industries gained greater control over its deliveries and could efficiently manage its driver-to-truck ratio.
