Power Only FAQs

Frequently asked questions

ABOUT POWER ONLY

What does “power-only” mean?

“Power-only” refers to when a carrier provides the “power unit”—a driver and a tractor—and the shipper provides the trailer for them to haul. These services offer increased flexibility and efficiency, especially with drop and hook operations.

What does “drop and hook” mean?

“Drop and hook” refers to a shipping method where a carrier drops off a loaded trailer at a designated location and immediately hooks up to another pre-loaded trailer. This process eliminates waiting times from loading/unloading goods, maximizing efficiency and convenience.

When should I use a power-only service?

Power-only services are ideal when you need a flexible, scalable, and efficient solution for moving your own trailers or leased trailers. This scalability and efficiency is especially useful in handling demand surges, giving you more control over your supply chain and helping your business stay agile.
