This question is about power only trucking.
What are power only shipments?
Power only shipments are shipments that are usually already loaded in a trailer and simply need a truck and a driver to deliver them. Shippers can either use their own trailers or lease some and then they can use a third-party transportation provider to find a driver-and-truck duo, called a power unit.
Many shippers use this option when they have a seasonal increase in the amount of freight they need to send out or when they don't want to pay to purchase and maintain their own fleet of trucks.
Power only shipments are often a great option for owner-operators since they don't have to buy a trailer, maintain it, and wait for it to be loaded - they can simply show up, hook up the trailer, and go.
Some carriers will also do power only shipments if they have the drivers and tractors available.
