Power Only Shipping Services
When the shipper owns the trailer that has to be transported but does not have any vehicles available to haul it, power only trucking is used. The truck and driver are hired to convey the trailer and/or freight in power-only shipment. To ensure that the driver arrives close to their home base, power only is primarily employed for local runs.
Benefits of Power Only Shipping
Control
With power only you have an extra degree of control since you own the trailer that is being transported. Also, similar to drop trailers, you don’t have to get to the trailer immediately, you can wait if you need to.
Cost Saving
Hiring a truck driver and buying a tractor can be pretty pricey, especially if you would only need them for 2 months out of the year. By using power only shipping, you are able to rent out these additional services when you need them.
Avoid Fees
As mentioned before, the driver simply has to drop off the trailer and they can leave. That means they won’t be stuck around waiting and racking up a huge detention fee.
