Power Only Freight Service

Your Trailer. Our Tractor.

Power only is the simplest freight equation: you have a trailer that needs to move, we provide the tractor to move it. Whether you're running a drop trailer program, managing a private fleet, repositioning empties between distribution centers, or handling overflow with your own trailers, MyExpressFreight's power only network delivers reliable tractor capacity when and where you need it.

No wasted trailer capacity. No carrier trailer fees. Just a vetted, FMCSA-authorized tractor hooked to your trailer and moving — with real-time tracking and the same service standards we apply to every load in our network.

How Power Only Works

Power only moves follow a straightforward process — but getting the details right upfront prevents delays and unnecessary costs on move day.

Step 1 — Submit Your Move:

Provide trailer number, type, location, destination, and pickup date. Let us know if the trailer is loaded, empty, or being dropped for later pickup.

Step 2 — Rate & Carrier Match:

We return a competitive power only rate and assign a vetted FMCSA-authorized carrier from our network in the origin market.

Step 3 — Pre-Move Trailer Check:

The carrier performs a pre-trip inspection of your trailer — lights, brakes, tires, and coupling equipment — before departing. Any deficiencies are reported to you immediately.

Step 4 — Dispatch & Tracking:

Your load is dispatched with real-time GPS visibility from the moment the carrier hooks up through delivery confirmation at the destination.

Step 5 — Delivery & Documentation:

Delivery confirmation, signed paperwork, and proof of delivery returned to you — same as any standard truckload shipment.

Trailer Requirements:

Shipper's trailer must be DOT-compliant, roadworthy, properly registered, and equipped with functioning lights and coupling hardware. We can advise on required documentation for interstate moves.

Power Only Service Options

One-time tractor moves priced at current market rates. Ideal for occasional trailer moves, emergency repositioning, or testing new power only lanes.

Contract Power Only:

Recurring tractor capacity on fixed lanes at pre-negotiated rates. Provides pricing stability and guaranteed availability for high-volume trailer programs.

Drop & Hook Programs:

Structured trailer management where we maintain a pool of available tractors for your facility — arriving on schedule to pick up loaded trailers and drop empties without driver wait time.

Expedited Power Only:

Same-day and next-day tractor dispatch for time-critical trailer moves. Available in most major markets across the US.

Multi-Stop Power Only:

Tractor moves covering multiple pickup or delivery stops on a single dispatch — useful for milk run routes, supplier consolidation, or multi-facility repositioning.

Vetted Tractor Network:

Every power only carrier is FMCSA-authorized, fully insured, and has passed our compliance review. Your trailer moves with qualified operators who understand power only protocols.

Trailer Inspection at Hookup:

Carriers perform a documented pre-trip inspection before departing. Any issues with your trailer are reported before the move begins — not after something goes wrong on the road.

Same-Day Quotes:

Power only rates returned same-day on most lanes. We understand that trailer repositioning and drop programs run on tight schedules.

Real-Time GPS Tracking:

Visibility on every tractor move from hookup through drop-off — so you always know where your trailer is, whether loaded or empty.

Flexible Scheduling:

We accommodate early morning pickup, weekend moves, and after-hours dispatch for drop programs that run outside standard business hours.

Dedicated Account Support:

A logistics specialist who understands your trailer program — not a call center that treats every move as a one-off transaction.
