GE Trailer Fleet Services (formerly Transport International Pool, Inc. (TIP)) was a wholly owned affiliate of GE Capital, which is a subsidiary of General Electric. Founded in 1957, the business rented and sells truck trailers. These 48 and 53-foot trailers were primarily used to haul raw materials to factories, and finished goods to distribution centers and retail stores. Older trailers were often used as storage units in retail, agricultural and other applications.
