Rental Process
Renting a trailer is simple. Call us at 1-210-802-0000 or email sales@seekequipment.com with your trailer type, desired rental period, and delivery location. Our team will provide a quote and availability within one business day. Once approved, we handle delivery to your site or you can pick up from our yard in Von Ormy, TX.
You will need a valid business license or DOT authority, proof of insurance meeting our minimum coverage requirements, and a signed rental agreement. For hazmat trailers such as tankers, additional documentation including hazmat endorsements may be required.
In many cases, we can arrange delivery within 24 to 48 hours depending on trailer availability and your location. For customers within the San Antonio metro area and Eagle Ford region, same-day delivery may be available. Contact us for current availability.
Yes, customers are welcome to pick up trailers directly from our yard located at 12330 Interstate 35 Access Rd, Von Ormy, TX 78073. This can reduce costs by eliminating delivery fees. Our yard is easily accessible from I-35 South.
Yes, rental extensions are easy to arrange. Contact us before your rental period ends and we will update your agreement. If you find yourself needing the trailer longer than expected, we can often convert short-term rentals to longer-term leases at better rates.
Pricing
Trailer rental rates vary by type, duration, and market conditions. Generally, longer lease terms offer lower per-day rates. Contact SEEK Equipment at 1-210-802-0000 or email sales@seekequipment.com for a personalized quote based on your specific needs.
Yes, we offer significant discounts for 6-month and 12-month lease commitments. Long-term customers also benefit from priority availability, dedicated account management, and flexible end-of-lease options. Contact us to discuss volume and term-based pricing.
A security deposit is required for most rentals. The deposit amount depends on the trailer type and rental term. Deposits are fully refundable upon return of the trailer in the same condition it was delivered, minus normal wear and tear.
Delivery and pickup fees are quoted separately based on the distance from our Von Ormy, TX yard to your location. For customers who pick up and return trailers to our yard, no delivery fees apply. We provide transparent delivery pricing upfront with your rental quote.
Trailer Types
We offer five main trailer types: DryVan trailers for general freight and storage, Tanker trailers for liquid and chemical transport, Flatbed trailers for oversized loads and construction materials, Sand Chassis for oilfield frac sand operations, and Belly Dump trailers for aggregate and construction material hauling.
The right trailer depends on what you are hauling. Dry vans work best for enclosed general freight and storage. Flatbeds handle oversized or heavy equipment. Tankers are for liquid transport. Sand chassis are purpose-built for oilfield sand containers. Belly dumps excel at spreading aggregate and construction materials. Our team at SEEK Equipment can help you select the right trailer for your application.
Yes, we specialize in oilfield equipment including sand chassis trailers designed for hauling frac sand containers. Our sand chassis are built for the demanding conditions of well sites and lease roads throughout the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, and other Texas oilfield regions.
Absolutely. Many of our customers operate mixed fleets and rent multiple trailer types simultaneously. We offer fleet pricing for customers renting three or more units. Contact our sales team to discuss a customized fleet package.
Maintenance & Condition
All SEEK Equipment trailers are inspected and maintained before each rental period. We perform thorough safety checks including brakes, tires, lights, structural integrity, and DOT compliance items. Our fleet includes both newer and well-maintained units, and we stand behind the road-readiness of every trailer we rent.
For short-term rentals, SEEK Equipment covers major mechanical maintenance. The renter is responsible for daily pre-trip inspections, tire pressure checks, and reporting any issues promptly. For long-term leases, maintenance responsibilities are outlined in your lease agreement and may vary based on the lease type.
Contact us immediately at 1-210-802-0000. For mechanical failures not caused by misuse, we will arrange roadside service or provide a replacement trailer as quickly as possible. We have partnerships with service providers across Texas to minimize your downtime.
Renters are responsible for damage beyond normal wear and tear during the rental period. This includes damage from overloading, accidents, misuse, or negligence. We conduct a joint inspection at delivery and return to document the trailer condition. Adequate insurance coverage is required for all rentals.
Compliance & Insurance
Yes, every trailer in our fleet meets current DOT and FMCSA safety standards. We maintain inspection records and ensure all required safety equipment including lights, reflectors, brakes, and tires meet or exceed regulatory requirements. Our tanker trailers carry specific DOT certifications for hazmat transport.
Renters must carry commercial auto liability insurance and physical damage coverage on the rented trailer. Minimum coverage requirements are specified in our rental agreement. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider to ensure your policy covers rented or leased trailers.
Yes, all trailers leave our yard with current annual inspection certificates as required by FMCSA regulations. For long-term leases, we coordinate annual inspections to ensure your trailer stays compliant throughout the lease term.
Maximum payload capacity varies by trailer type. Dry vans carry up to 45,000 lbs, flatbeds up to 48,000 lbs, tankers up to 50,000 lbs, sand chassis up to 52,000 lbs gross, and belly dumps up to 50,000 lbs. Actual legal weight limits depend on your route, axle configuration, and state regulations. Our team can help you understand weight limits for your specific operation.
