POWER ONLY TRANSPORT SERVICES
Often at Tractor Transport, we encounter clients who don't need to use one of our versatile and dependable cargo trailers because they already have their own. What they don't have is a way to move it, which is where our "Power Only" services come into play, also known as Power Only trucking.
What Is Power Only Shipping?
When our customers have their own trailer and need to move it, full or empty, we supply the power to make that happen. We provide the proper hitch to make that happen. We give you the "power", so to speak, to move your trailers and other cargo from point A to point B.

POWER TO THE LOAD
Power only trucking
Power-only shipping is a logistics service where a carrier provides the truck and driver, while the shipper supplies the trailer and freight. This cost-effective "plug-and-play" model suits businesses with their own trailers, offering flexibility and improved utilization.
Understanding How It Works
- The shipper or customer prepares the trailer: Tractor Transport utilizes a specialized program called a "drop trailer" to make things easier. We leave a fully loaded trailer at the loading dock, making it convenient for loading and unloading.
- A Carrier Provides Power: We locate a qualified driver and a large truck in the area to help with deliveries.
- Signing an agreement: The customer and a transportation company make a deal to share trailers. Once they have the agreement, the truck connects to the trailer using special locking parts to ensure it stays secure during transportation.
- Shipping process: The driver delivers the loaded trailer to its destination.
Power only transport and power only trucking are the same service?
Power-only transport and power-only trucking refer to the same service, where a trucking company provides only the tractor to haul a shipper's or another carrier's trailer. The shipper retains control of their trailers and cargo while the trucking company supplies the truck and driver.
How Do We Secure Our Customers' Cargo?
We know that when you own the trailer and its cargo, it's even more important to keep everything safe during its journey. At Tractor Transport, our skilled drivers will pick up your trailer and deliver it wherever you need it. We promise quality service and provide insurance that covers the full value of your cargo, giving you peace of mind.
How Does Tractor Transport Handle Power Only Shipping?
To use our "Power Only" service, you need to determine the type of truck and trailer required for your trailer, the duration for which you’ll need it, and whether you will be driving it yourself or if you will need a driver to transport your cargo to its destination.
Don't worry — Tractor Transport is here to help you with all the details, allowing you to focus on what matters most. We offer a variety of conveniences for our customers, including no-fee cancellation, door-to-door shipping, and 24/7 customer service.

FLATBED
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Our most versatile and commonly used trailer by far is the standard flatbed trailer, made evident by the sheer number of them on the road every day. A great aspect of flatbed trailer shipping is the stability of the bed and the fact that these common carriers come in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions. A flatbed trailer, as the name suggests, is marked by a flat trailer surface that's able to be loaded with stability by balancing and securing cargo on the outside edges of the trailer.

RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches. The variable nature of the RGN trailer allows it to accommodate cargo that is more difficult for less flexible trailers. Referred to as a "detach", the RGN is ideal for transporting less than standard cargo, equipment that is longer, taller, or otherwise a non-normal size.

EXT. RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Similar to the standard Removable Gooseneck Trailer, the extended RGN has an added section for additional length and capacity for particularly tricky transport jobs. When cargo is too long for the standard Removable Gooseneck (RGN), we sometimes employ the extended RGN. Like the standard RGN, the back portion of the stretch RGN is removable, creating a convenient ramp. The extended RGN has a versatile extension feature that allows it to meet an increased number of length requirements for cargo.

DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A drop deck, or "step deck" trailer resembles a standard flatbed model with a single drop in order to give the trailer the capacity for more cargo height. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. For especially large or oddly sized pieces of equipment, the drop deck trailers present a uniquely ideal solution; tractors, farming combines and large construction and industrial equipment.

EXT. DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
When a job necessitates a trailer that can carry an irregularly long piece of equipment or cargo, we employ the extended drop deck trailer. Like a flatbed with either a single or a double attached gooseneck, the extended drop deck gives the user capacity for additional height and length to meet the needs of a specific cargo load. Typically, the extended RGN is more flexible than the standard RGN, so it's only used when absolutely necessary.

LOWBOY
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A lowboy is one of the lowest trailers to the ground, as its name suggests. Many heavy hauling tasks are carried out with the help of the lowboy trailer because of its use for extremely large, heavy, and oversized or over-dimension equipment. Typically when you see a sign that says "Oversize Load" on the interstate, the cargo being hauled is done so with a lowboy trailer. Many shippers use lowboy models as their top choice for these jobs due to their capacity to carry extremely heavy weights of cargo, and their stability as the lowest, off-the-ground option.
