1962

NationaLease Partnership

The NationaLease network today comprises of more than 165 locally owned, independent leasing companies with over 600 service locations in the United States and Canada.

2025

In 2025, Fox & James proudly entered its next chapter as the third generation of family leadership took the helm. Chris James officially stepped into the role of President, continuing our legacy as a trusted name in commercial truck leasing. With years of hands-on experience in fleet operations, sales, customer service, and strategic planning, Chris brings fresh perspective while honoring the values that have guided us since 1951.

Where we're going
