Meet McMahon Indy’s New Leasing & Rentals Manager and Prep for Peak Season!
A Background Built on Service and Growth
With around 10 years of experience in truck leasing – including time with M&K Truck Centers and Ryder – Drew was drawn to McMahon for its vision and drive, as well as its standard of service.
“The McMahon service approach is to provide the best service in the industry, and they strive to achieve this through major investments in their Mobile service fleet. Working for a company that delivers on their promises is big and I knew working for McMahon, they deliver on the all-important service promise.”
Leasing vs. Rental: Finding the Right Fit
According to Drew, renting and leasing serve two different purposes:
Short-term truck rental is ideal when you need capacity for days to a few months – think harvest season, holiday peaks, last-minute surges, construction ramps, or when a unit is down for repair.
Commercial truck leasing makes sense when the need is long-term or when trucking isn’t your core business. Manufacturers, food processors, recyclers, and other operations can focus on what they do best while McMahon handles fleet reliability, maintenance, and uptime.
What’s Available in Indianapolis
At McMahon Truck Centers of Indianapolis, the rental lineup covers nearly every seasonal and operational need:
- Day Cab Tractors: Ideal for regional or local deliveries, available year-round
- 26’ Box Trucks with Liftgates: A popular choice for fall through January when deliveries surge during the holiday season
- Tandem-Axle Dump Trucks: In high demand as winter transitions to spring and construction ramps up
- Sleeper Tractors: Dependable power for long hauls and extended routes
All trucks in the Indianapolis rental fleet are newer models, cleaned, serviced, and ready to hit the road whenever demand spikes.
Staying Agile During Peak Season
Drew knows how important flexibility is in Indianapolis’s fast-changing market. “Truck rentals are a very useful short-term tool anytime a truck is needed quickly,” he explains.
He adds, “Indianapolis has many growing businesses in lots of different market sectors and the needs are constantly changing.”
McMahon’s rental program makes it easy to adapt with trucks kept clean, fueled, serviced and ready to hit the road in a pinch.
Preparing for Harvest
If you’re looking to temporarily expand your fleet during harvest season, Drew recommends reaching out about 30 days in advance.
The more preparation, the smoother (and faster) the process moves along. McMahon makes setup simple with a short online rental application, quick account approval, and responsive communication throughout.
Completing the application accurately and submitting insurance information promptly helps guarantee availability when you need it most.
A Local Approach with Regional Reach
Drew believes what truly sets McMahon apart is its balance of personal connection and scale. “A leasing company that takes a local approach but has a strong regional and even national service reach is so important,” he says. “Customers are treated like valued individuals by everyone at McMahon – from the service department all the way up to management, we take the time to get to know the customer’s business and develop a relationship.”
That commitment to genuine relationships backed by regional strength is what makes McMahon different. Customers don’t just get equipment – they get a responsive team that understands their business, anticipates their needs, and stands ready to deliver dependable solutions every step of the way.
