Overview
Dispatching for power only carriers
Power only can mean fast, high-turn freight with less time at the dock, but it depends on trailer interchange and drop yards lining up. We book loads where the pieces fit and keep the truck hooked to the next trailer instead of waiting on one.
What we watch
Load planning for power only
Trailer interchange and agreements
Power-only freight runs on interchange and broker agreements. We confirm the terms up front so you know what you're pulling and who's responsible for the trailer.
Drop-and-hook turns
Done right, power only keeps you moving with minimal dock time. We plan loads around drop yards and live swaps so your day is spent rolling, not waiting.
Trailer condition
We remind you to check the trailer you're assigned and help document any issues, so a problem with someone else's equipment doesn't land on you.
What exactly is power-only dispatch?
You bring the tractor; the shipper or broker provides the trailer. We book loads where your tractor pulls a preloaded or drop trailer, which can mean less time at the dock and faster turns.
Who's responsible for the trailer I pull?
That's set by the trailer interchange or broker agreement, which we confirm before you accept. We also remind you to check the trailer's condition and help document any issues.
Is power only good for staying busy?
It can be. Done right it's high-turn, drop-and-hook work, so we plan loads around drop yards and live swaps to keep the tractor moving instead of waiting on a trailer.
