Power Only Trucking
Power Only Trucking Services – We Supply the Power, You Supply the Trailer
What Is Power Only Trucking?
Power Only trucking refers to freight transportation where the carrier provides only the truck and driver, while the shipper or third party provides the trailer. This arrangement is ideal for businesses with preloaded or drop trailers, trailer leasing companies, or dedicated lane partners.
Rather than contracting full-service carriers with their own equipment, power-only services allow you to leverage the mobility of a full-capacity driver fleet without worrying about truck ownership or driver employment.
