Power-Only Freight

• Drop-and-Hook Operations: When trailers are preloaded and ready to move, power-only shipping allows for faster turnarounds and reduced dock time.
• Trailer Imbalances: If you have trailers but limited drivers or tractors available, power-only service fills the gap without requiring additional equipment purchases.
• Seasonal or Surge Demand: Ideal during peak seasons or sudden increases in freight volume when extra capacity is needed quickly.
• Dedicated or Contract Freight: Useful for consistent lanes where trailers can be staged while tractors rotate efficiently.
• Limited Yard Space: When trailers can be dropped at one location and picked up later, reducing congestion and dwell time.
• Cost Control Needs: When you want to minimize capital investment in tractors and still maintain reliable freight movement.

Depending on your load and routing needs, it may be more cost-effective to utilize a single driver to reduce or eliminate deadhead miles.

Weight and load size play a major role in pricing, as heavier hauls require more fuel and increase operating costs. Deadhead distance, when a truck travels without freight, also impacts rates. In power-only shipping, the distance a driver must travel without a load to reach the next pickup location is factored into the overall rate, ensuring accurate and transparent pricing based on the full scope of the move.
