Echo Global Logistics, a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, has announced a strategic partnership with Wabash (NYSE: WNC), a top manufacturer of semi-trailers and truck bodies. This collaboration marks a significant step in Echo’s continued investment in its drop trailer program, aimed at delivering greater flexibility and efficiency for shippers across the U.S.
Through this partnership, Wabash will provide Echo with a dedicated supply of newly manufactured trailers to support the expansion of Echo’s drop trailer network. These trailers are designed with advanced features that enhance durability, visibility, and tracking, aligning with Echo’s technology-first approach to logistics.
The expanded trailer pool enables Echo to meet growing demand from clients seeking streamlined dock operations and reduced detention times. Drop trailer programs offer shippers and receivers the ability to load and unload at their convenience, freeing up driver capacity and improving overall supply chain performance.
“Echo is proud to partner with Wabash as we scale our drop trailer offerings to better serve our clients’ evolving needs,” said Doug Waggoner, Chairman and CEO of Echo. “This collaboration allows us to deliver consistent equipment capacity while leveraging Wabash’s high-quality manufacturing and innovation.”
Wabash’s advanced trailer solutions—backed by strong production capabilities—will help Echo scale its drop trailer footprint without compromising service reliability. The partnership also underscores the critical role equipment availability plays in modern freight operations.
As supply chain complexity grows, Echo continues to invest in proprietary technology, real-time visibility, and strategic partnerships to help shippers navigate challenges and improve efficiency. With this new trailer capacity from Wabash, Echo is positioned to offer greater service flexibility and strengthen its competitive edge in the logistics market.
