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.
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.
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.

Finding efficient and budget-wise logistics solutions for your business can be a rather tricky experience. There are so many factors and aspects you have to consider! It is necessary not only to meet the deadlines but also to save money, make transportation as smooth and simple as possible, and keep the supply chain operating no matter what. So, what does power only trucking mean and why is it so trendy these days? In simple terms, this type of transportation implies that a carrier provides a tractor (also known as a power unit) and driver while the shipper already has a loaded trailer. And for a shipper, it is possible both to have its own fleet or trailers or lease the needed number of them. It’s up to business owners to define which solution is more profitable for them.
