Power Only Dispatch Dispatch Solutions
Maximize tractor utilization without trailer maintenance by pulling pre-loaded, leased, and repositioning trailers.
Who This Dispatch Solution Is Built For
Owner-operators who own a reliable commercial tractor but choose not to own, lease, or maintain their own trailer.
Market Dynamics & Operating Overview
Power Only dispatch matches independent tractor owners with freight shippers and 3PLs that own their own trailers. By pulling dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, and container chassis provided by customers or broker networks, carriers eliminate trailer purchase debt, tire maintenance, and inspection headaches.
Strong demand through major national freight brokerages, Amazon Relay, and retail 3PL logistics networks seeking flexible tractor capacity.
