Tractor Without a Trailer

Power Only Dispatching

Power only means you run just the tractor — no trailer of your own. The trailer is provided by the shipper, broker, or a drop-yard pool, and you hook up on arrival. It's common in drop-and-hook freight, relay and team runs, and trailer-pool programs, and it's a good fit for carriers who want to keep trailer costs and maintenance off their books.
