How to Get a Power Only Quote

A clear power only quote starts with clear information. Carriers pricing a tractor-only move need to know what they are hooking, where it sits, where it goes, and when it must move. The more precise your request, the faster Logi Transports LLC can return a usable rate and capacity plan.

This guide walks through the details we need, how to submit them, and what happens after you accept a quote. It is written for shippers, private fleet managers, and 3PLs booking through Logi Transports LLC—MC-1636889, USDOT 4230991—via poweronlytruck.com and logitransports.com.

Information to Gather Before You Request

  • Origin address (or yard name and city/state) and release contact.
  • Destination address and receiving contact or appointment desk.
  • Trailer number, type (dry van, flatbed, step deck, other), and length.
  • Loaded or empty; if loaded, commodity summary and approximate weight.
  • Ready date and time; appointment windows at either end if known.
  • Access notes: gate codes, hours, low bridges, soft ground, live vs drop.
  • Special requirements: hazmat endorsement, tarps already applied, reefer genset, etc.

Missing appointment times or trailer numbers are the most common causes of requotes and delays. If a trailer is not yet loaded, say so and give the expected ready time.

Where and How to Submit

Use the Logi Transports LLC quote request form at logitransports.com/quote-request. For urgent or multi-trailer requests, call (864) 791-5644 or email quotes@logitransports.com. Include all items from the list above in one message so our team does not need a second round of questions before marketing the load.

If you are comparing power only to a carrier-supplied trailer move, note that preference. Our power only vs full truckload guide explains when each model fits.

What Happens After You Submit

We review the lane, equipment, and timing, then source capacity from licensed motor carriers. You receive a quote with assumptions stated—equipment type, pickup window, and any access constraints we priced against. Ask questions before accepting if something looks incomplete.

After acceptance, we confirm the carrier, share driver name and contact when available, and provide ETA updates through the hook and drop. Changes to appointments or trailer readiness should be called in immediately so the power unit is not dispatched into a known delay.

Timing Expectations

Same-day and next-day power only moves are possible when trailers are ready and markets have tractor supply. Longer lead times improve options on tight corridors and for specialty decks. Weekend and holiday ready times need extra notice. Coverage realities are summarized on our coverage page.

Common Quote Mistakes to Avoid

  • Omitting whether the trailer is empty or loaded.
  • Giving city-only origins without a facility or yard identifier.
  • Forgetting that destination requires an appointment.
  • Assuming the driver will tarp or re-secure without stating that need.
  • Requesting power only when you actually need a carrier trailer—clarify FTL if so.

Drop-and-hook and empty relocates have their own nuances; see drop and hook and empty trailer moves.

After the Move

Confirm drop with our team, note any detention or access issues for future quotes, and keep trailer numbers consistent in your records. Repeat lanes can often be quoted faster once we know your facilities. Company background is on about; booking contacts are on contact.
