TEN (Transportation Equipment Network), a provider of flexible trailer leasing, rentals and fleet services, announced its official launch in the Houston market through a strategic collaboration with Darda Management Group. This expansion represents a significant step in TEN’s mission to deliver high-performing equipment and responsive service solutions to customers across North America.

With one of the largest trailer fleets on the continent and a deep commitment to customer-first solutions, TEN’s move into Houston brings new capabilities to one of the nation’s most vital logistics and industrial corridors. Working alongside Darda Management Group - an experienced local service provider known for operational agility and a strong customer focus - will ensure that Houston-based companies can now access TEN’s broad equipment portfolio and innovative service programs, backed by regional expertise and immediate support.

“This is more than a geographic expansion - it’s about growing TEN with the right collaborators,” said Scott Nelson, President of TEN. “With Darda’s boots-on-the-ground presence and deep understanding of the Houston market, we’re positioned to deliver reliable, flexible trailer solutions - supporting day-to-day operations and enabling rapid response through TEN Ready when emergencies strike.”

As part of the launch, Houston will also be a key activation site for TEN Ready, TEN’s disaster recovery and emergency response initiative. Designed for resilience, speed, and coordination, TEN Ready delivers rapid deployment of critical equipment in the wake of natural disasters and emergency events. Darda Management Group’s localized infrastructure and fast-response capabilities will play a vital role in helping TEN deliver this program, ensuring that businesses and communities in the region can recover faster and with greater confidence.

“This partnership with TEN allows us to bring national resources to the regional businesses we’ve served for over two decades. It’s an opportunity to scale the foundation we’ve built - one rooted in responsiveness, flexibility, and meeting the real-world needs of operators across the Gulf Coast and beyond,” explained James Marcel, founder of Darda Management.

This collaboration underscores TEN’s strategic approach to growth - blending scale, specialization, and local execution to meet customers where they are, with what they need.
