Our 10-week, paid Summer Internship Program gives college students hands‑on exposure to the day‑to‑day operations of a leading national trailer leasing and rental company. As an Operations Intern, you will learn how a branch manages its fleet, coordinates equipment movement and vendor work, maintains safety and compliance standards, serves customers, and keeps the operation moving efficiently.

This is not a desk‑only internship. You will spend time in the office, with customers and vendors, and outdoors in the branch yard learning the equipment and working alongside experienced operations professionals. You will also gain exposure to how branch operations connect with Premier's corporate teams and broader business priorities.

This is a full‑time, on‑site Intern role from May 31 through August 6, 2027 (8AM - 5PM, Monday through Friday) at our Dallas, TX branch and Plano, TX corporate office.
