No. You set your home base, preferred lanes, minimum rate per mile, and equipment availability. We negotiate and present loads; you approve or decline every load before booking.
In power-only dispatch, you supply the Class 8 tractor and professional driving services, while the shipper, broker, or logistics network supplies the pre-loaded trailer (dry van, reefer, flatbed, or intermodal chassis). You hook up at origin, transport to destination, and either drop-and-hook or live-unload.
Beyond standard $1,000,000 Auto Liability and $100,000 Cargo, power-only carriers must carry Non-Owned Trailer Physical Damage insurance and an active Trailer Interchange Agreement endorsement (typically $20,000 to $50,000 coverage) to cover accidental damage to the borrowed or leased trailer.
We source power-only loads across major drop-and-hook digital platforms (Amazon Relay, Uber Freight, JB Hunt 360, Schneider FreightPower) as well as private shippers seeking fleet repositioning, disaster relief equipment moves, and mobile facility transport.
Before hooking and leaving the facility, you must conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection of tires, lights, brakes, mudflaps, and body damage, documenting pre-existing defects on the Trailer Interchange Receipt (TIR) with photos. We ensure any pre-existing damage is countersigned by facility security to protect you from liability.
Power-only eliminates trailer maintenance, tire replacement, registration, and capital purchase debt. While linehaul RPM is lower than trailer-owned loads, lower equipment overhead and faster drop-and-hook turnaround often yield strong net margins per week for single-truck operators.
