What Fleet Management Includes

Railcar fleet management covers the full lifecycle of keeping your equipment in service — from tracking where cars are and how they are being used, to coordinating repairs, managing AAR compliance, and planning for lease transitions and disposition.

RTEX manages cars under the RTEX reporting mark and coordinates directly with railroads, shops, and lessees on your behalf. You get visibility into your fleet and confidence that the administrative and compliance side is being handled by people who know the rail industry.

Fleet Location & Tracking

Real-time insight into where your railcars are, their current status, and how long they have been in each location. Identify idle cars and track revenue-generating activity.

Repair Coordination

When cars need shop work, RTEX coordinates with AAR-certified facilities, reviews repair billing, and manages the process from initial identification through return to service.

AAR Compliance Management

Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable in rail. RTEX manages AAR qualification schedules, ensures cars stay in compliant status, and handles the administrative burden of keeping your fleet legal.

Utilization Reporting

Understand how your fleet is performing over time — utilization rates, repair frequency, revenue-generating days, and idle analysis. Data that informs strategic decisions.

Lease Administration

Managing lease agreements, billings, renewals, and lessee communication takes time. RTEX handles the administrative side of your lease relationships so you do not have to.

Disposition & Remarketing

When it is time to sell or re-lease equipment, RTEX transitions seamlessly from fleet management to disposition — leveraging our buyer network and market knowledge to maximize returns.

Managing cars under the RTEX mark. RTEX maintains its own AAR reporting mark and can manage cars under that mark on your behalf — handling all compliance, shop coordination, and administrative requirements while you retain economic ownership. This is particularly valuable for investors and institutions that own rail assets but lack internal operational infrastructure.
