Power-only shipping is incredibly convenient when your loaded trailers outnumber your trucks and drivers or if you’re a new company and don’t possess the capital to spend on additional drivers and trucks. With power-only trucking, you only hire drivers and trucks to transport your freight when and as needed. If I need to move several trailers simultaneously, should I hire multiple carriers? Depending on your load, it may be cheaper to hire one driver to eliminate deadhead distance. At Cowtown Logistics, we already have an extensive network of carriers and a premium fleet, so you only need to contact us, and we take care of the rest at the best rates. What factors affect the rate of power-only shipping? Weight and size because the heavier the haul is, the more fuel it costs. Deadhead distance; when a truck driver is driving without any freight, it also affects the rate. In power-only shipping, how long the driver travels without freight to the next pickup point is included in the rate. Can you provide brokerage for power-only freight? At Cowtown Logistics, our skilled drivers and logistics team are ready to help with all your freight needs, regardless of how simple or complex they are. In addition, our knowledgeable brokers can acquire any type of over-the-road, power-only freight services you require.
