Through strategic investments, technological upgrades, and an unwavering focus on customer service, Global Tank is experiencing unprecedented growth, including new locations, fleet expansion, and enhanced maintenance capabilities—all in the face of industry headwinds.
James Stinson and wife Kristin devoted three decades to solidifying Global Tank’s reputation as one of the most reliable providers of tank trailer leasing in the United States. Then, for the next stage of the company’s evolution, they enlisted help from family and friends, including their son, Grant Stinson, and former U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot Jerry Stafford.
That future-focused investment is paying off in exponential ways.
The powerful combination of James’ even-keeled industry experience, Grant’s youthful energy and enthusiasm, and Stafford’s systematic discipline is enabling an unprecedented era of expansion for Global Tank’s fleet, locations, and capabilities—despite challenging conditions marked by tariff uncertainty, stagnant freight growth, and equipment overcapacity.
“Grant runs at a million miles an hour. He’s young, and he’s motivated,” said Stafford, Global Tank vice president of maintenance. “I’m highly motivated as well. And then we have James [Global Tank president] at the head, and another talented new employee, Ryan Wagner, on the sales side.
“We’re a group of hungry individuals who work very well together.”
