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.
