Lease returns and off-hire
Trailers coming off a lease need to reach the return depot by a date, in a condition the lessor will accept. RAJO documents condition at hook so a dispute over damage does not land on you weeks later.

What RAJO needs to quote
Trailer owner or customer contact
Pickup and delivery markets, addresses, and appointment windows

Road-readiness and whether the trailer is loaded or empty
Tire, light, hidden mechanical, inspection, and reimbursement expectations
Delivery deadline, tracking expectations, and proof-of-delivery requirements
When customers call RAJO for a reposition
Yard balancing
Empties stacked at one facility while another runs short. Repositioning fixes the imbalance before it turns into missed pickups or an emergency rental.
Private fleet redistribution
Seasonal shifts move demand between markets. Getting owned equipment where the freight is beats paying spot rates to cover the gap.
Recovery from a failed carrier
A trailer sitting at a closed facility, an abandoned load, or equipment stranded when another carrier fell through. RAJO handles the retrieval and the communication around it.
Trailer repositioning questions
What does trailer repositioning cost?+
It is priced per move, driven by the market pair, mileage, whether the trailer is loaded or empty, appointment flexibility, and how much deadhead is involved to reach it. Send the pickup and delivery markets with a target date and RAJO will price the specific move rather than quote a rate-per-mile in the abstract.
Who is liable if the trailer is damaged in transit?+
Responsibility is agreed before the move, and RAJO documents condition at hook. Pre-existing damage found at pickup gets photographed and reported before the tractor leaves, which is the step that prevents most disputes.
Can RAJO move a trailer that is not roadworthy?+
No. If a trailer will not pass a roadside inspection, moving it puts the driver out of service and creates a violation on RAJO's record. RAJO will report what is wrong so you can arrange repair, and can often work with a mobile repair vendor at the origin.
Do you reposition loaded trailers or only empties?+
Both. A loaded reposition just needs the freight details up front - commodity, weight, and whether the load is secured and sealed - because it changes permitting, insurance exposure, and which driver fits the move.
How far will RAJO reposition trailers from DFW?+
DFW and Texas are the core market. Longer moves into surrounding states are reviewed case by case against current fleet commitments - RAJO would rather decline a move than accept it and leave your trailer sitting.
