PacLease achieved a significant milestone last year with the expansion of its franchise network and achieved record location coverage. PacLease set a record in franchise growth in 2024, adding 28 new locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. This is the second consecutive year PacLease has set corporate milestones.
According to Ken Roemer, president of Paccar Leasing, the success of the PacLease network is driving its franchises to invest in expansion and facility growth.
“Fleets appreciate the reliability and high quality of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks,” says Roemer. “Combined with stringent preventive maintenance programs and customized fleet solutions, leasing through PacLease is helping our customers fulfill their business goals.”

This past year, Roemer says PacLease also launched a new Franchise Portal, an innovative online platform that provides franchises seamless access to all their lease and rental resources in one centralized hub.
“This enhances fleet management. Franchises can access their fleet prognostic information through the portal to predict and prevent component failures, enabling them to proactively manage the fleet — all of which pays dividends to our customers,” he says.
Roemer sees a robust market for 2025 as well.
“The PacLease network is stronger than ever, offering the broadest network coverage in our history,” he says. “As we near our 45th year in business, PacLease will continue to grow and expand with the locations, technology and experience to exceed customers’ expectations.”
