What is truck driveaway service?
Truck driveaway is a specialized service where professional drivers transport new, used, or rental trucks by driving them directly to their destination. This approach provides flexibility, speed and cost savings, making it ideal for manufacturers, dealers, and companies relocating their fleets.
How truck driveaway service works?
- The job is to drive the truck: In this context, "cargo" means the truck itself. Unlike regular trucking, where the focus is on the goods being transported in a trailer, here it's the truck that acts as the main item being carried.

PEACE OF MIND WITH DRIVE-AWAY
At Tractor Transport, we understand that having a third party physically drive your equipment to its destination incurs a slightly higher level of risk. To remedy this, we grant only the most thoroughly trained operators permission to handle our clients' machinery, and we operate under the assurance of significant background checks and a thorough vetting process.
We insure the full amount of your machinery as a matter of policy, to give you the peace of mind you need to trust us with a significant investment of cargo. At Tractor Transport, we work closely with you to ensure that all parties understand the stakes and the terms of these delicate arrangements.
ADDRESSING COST DIFFERENCE TO HAULING
Owning a tractor or other piece of heavy equipment is a major investment, and shipping that cargo is another one. At Tractor Transport, we understand what goes into owning and operating heavy machinery, so when our clients have special considerations for their orders, we listen.
Our drive-away service involves entrusting your equipment to another operator who will independently transport it to your destination. This option is most typically used when the transport distance is in a range that makes sense for a given case, and a drive-away option typically ends up saving our clients money in the long run.
