Star was founded in 1974 in Columbus, Ohio by Lloyd W. Sharp.  Originally, the company was established to provide trailers to other trucking interests owned by Mr. Sharp.  The profitability of leasing, as well as requests by customers to lease trailers, persuaded him to focus on building Star Leasing.

Our overall objective is to create an image of serving all of a customer's trailer and portable storage needs through equipment rental and leasing, equipment sales, both new and used, and repair and maintenance services.  The company provides tailored lease and rental programs for semi-trailers of various sizes and configurations, including complete service support, to companies which operate private and contract transportation fleets, and motor carriage companies primarily located in Northern Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Northern Georgia.  The company also brokers the sale of new and used trailers to many of those same customers.  The company offers maintenance services for trailers that are owned by its customers, in addition to servicing its own fleet.  The company differentiates itself by emphasizing reliability and customer -oriented service, by offering competitive prices, and by reacting quickly with creative solutions to each customer's needs.

Star's history of success is the result of an aggressive strategy based upon providing greater value and more comprehensive service to its customers, as compared to its competition.  Star has focused on providing a selection of the most frequently used types of trailers in a limited geographic area.  The company concentrates on understanding the specific transportation needs of its customers, and then on providing the equipment that best suites those requirements.

We are committed to offer a high level of maintenance service, as well as administrative and operational support to our customers, in a very cost-effective manner.  Star's focus is to be proactive in providing customer-oriented programs that outpace the competition.
