Contactless Trailer Rental

November Host of the Month: Meet Tyler, The Pilot Who Turned His Passion for Equipment Into a Contactless Trailer Rental Business

This month, we’re excited to spotlight Tyler as our November Host of the Month and his impressive Contactless Trailer Rental setup!

Tyler is a full-time pilot with a serious love for equipment and machinery. When he’s not in the air, he’s finding ways to keep his rental business running from anywhere.

He’s built a system that stays organized and efficient, even while he’s mid-flight. Every detail of his process shows how much thought and care he puts into it.

Tyler’s story is a great example of how towlos hosts are turning side businesses into smooth, professional operations, no matter where life takes them.

How Tyler found towlos

Tyler first discovered towlos while doing his own research. He was looking for a platform that could handle advertising, scheduling, payments, and deposits — all in one place. Towlos checked every box.

He shared that one of his favorite parts about the platform is how easy it makes running a contactless rental business. Since he’s often away for work, being able to manage everything through Towlos and text messages lets him keep things running smoothly without needing to be there in person.

“Contactless rentals are a big goal of mine,” Tyler told us. “I want people driving by to be able to rent the trailer on the spot. Being a pilot means I’m not always home when rentals are happening, so Towlos really helps take that off my plate.”

How he got into the trailer rental business

Tyler’s love for heavy equipment sparked his start in the trailer world. He wanted a hobby or side business that let him work with that kind of gear and naturally, it began with a trailer.

He chose a 20-foot, 10K car hauler that could handle many local needs, from cars to smaller pieces of machinery. The trailer became the perfect starting point for his business.

His current setup

Tyler rents out a bright-orange 20-foot, 9.9K Rice car hauler. He runs his business almost entirely contactlessly. Most interactions happen through Towlos or text. Customers handle pickup and drop-off on their own schedules after checking in with photos.

“It’s easy for customers, and it’s easy for me,” he said. “Towlos handles deposits, payments, and paperwork automatically, so I can manage rentals from anywhere without worrying about the details.”

A little more about Tyler

When he’s not flying or managing rentals, Tyler spends his time working on machinery. He loves anything with a motor.

For him, this business goes beyond a hobby. It turns his passion into something productive.

“I love talking to people and hearing how they use the trailer,” Tyler says. “Some haul cars, others head out on road trips. The human side makes it just as fun as the rest.”

We’re proud to feature Tyler as our November Host of the Month! His story shows how creativity, communication, and the right tools help him run a seamless rental business, even from the sky.
