Trailer interchange agreements, inspection photos, seal numbers and rate cons handled and filed for you.

Hooks and drops scheduled to keep you moving between trailer pools with minimal bobtail miles.

    Power Only Dispatch Services FAQ

    Who owns the trailer?

    The shipper, broker or 3PL. You hook their trailer, move it and drop it. Interchange paperwork protects you on both ends.

    Do I need trailer interchange insurance?

    Most programs require it. We tell you exactly what each program needs before you sign up.

    Is power only all drop-and-hook?

    Mostly, which is why hours are so productive. Your dispatcher flags any live loads before you accept.

    What if I pick up a damaged trailer?

    Photograph it, note it on the inspection and call your dispatcher. We document it so the damage is not charged to you.
