Trailer relocation is the power only service that moves your empty or loaded trailer from one facility to another without requiring you to dedicate your own tractor and driver. Plants, warehouses, and customer yards often end up with trailers in the wrong place—full at a dock that needs empty equipment, or empty at a site that has no outbound freight. A brokered power unit closes that gap.
Logi Transports LLC arranges trailer relocation for dry vans, flatbeds, and other roadworthy trailers you control. From our office at 1266 Schumann Dr, Sebastian, FL 32958, we coordinate nationwide relocates with licensed carriers. You keep the trailer; we find the tractor that pulls it on schedule.

Why Relocate Trailers with Power Only
Owning or leasing a trailer fleet gives you control over cube, branding, and dwell—but it also creates imbalance. Seasonality, promotional spikes, and customer return patterns leave equipment stranded. Hiring a power unit to reposition a trailer is often faster and more cost-effective than waiting for your own drivers to free up or for a full truckload carrier to supply their trailer.
Relocation also supports maintenance cycles: move a trailer to a shop, then return it to service at the right yard. Because the move is power only, your maintenance and inventory systems stay linked to the same asset ID throughout transit.
Typical Trailer Relocation Scenarios
- Empty vans from a retail DC back to a manufacturing plant.
- Loaded trailers staged at an overflow yard needing delivery to a dock.
- Flatbed equipment moving between job sites or storage yards.
- Pool balancing across multiple facilities in a private fleet network.
- Post-delivery empties that must return to an origin hub on a deadline.
Each scenario needs clear origin release authority, destination receiving instructions, and confirmation that the trailer is roadworthy—lights, tires, brakes, and secure doors or tarps as applicable.
Process from Request to Delivery
Submit origin and destination addresses, trailer number and type, empty or loaded status, ready time, and any appointment or gate requirements. Logi Transports LLC quotes based on distance, equipment, and timing. Once you accept, we assign a carrier, share driver details, and track the move through drop confirmation.
For multi-trailer programs, we can sequence relocates across a week so yard managers are not flooded with simultaneous arrivals. Communication with both shipper and consignee contacts is part of every booking. Prep tips live on our shipper checklist.
Equipment Notes for Relocation
Empty trailers still require a proper hook: landing gear condition, glad hands, and electrical connections must work. Loaded relocates need accurate weight and commodity notes so carriers can plan routing and hours of service. Specialty trailers—step decks, double drops, or equipment with unusual fifth-wheel needs—should be flagged at quote time; see flatbed power only for open-deck considerations and dry van power only for closed-van work.
Who Benefits
Private fleet managers, warehouse leads, construction logistics coordinators, and 3PLs managing shipper-owned equipment all use trailer relocation. If your problem is “the trailer is here, the freight or the empty demand is there,” power only relocation is built for that. Coverage details are on our coverage page.
