Power only trucking is a freight solution where a carrier supplies the tractor—the power unit—while you supply the trailer. Instead of booking a full truckload that includes both tractor and trailer, you keep ownership or control of the trailer and hire a licensed power unit to move it. That model fits shippers, private fleets, and 3PLs that already stage loaded trailers at docks, yards, or customer locations and need reliable capacity to pull them.
Logi Transports LLC brokers power only freight nationwide from Sebastian, Florida. We match your trailer move with vetted motor carriers that run the right equipment for dry van, flatbed, and specialty trailer work. Whether you need a same-day hook for a hot trailer or a planned multi-stop relocation, our team coordinates pickup, transit, and drop so your freight keeps moving without tying up your own drivers.
If you are comparing options for the first time, start with this overview, then review our trailer relocation, dry van power only, and flatbed power only pages for equipment-specific detail. Ready to move? Use our quote guide or call (864) 791-5644.
Power only trucking keeps your trailer and freight moving with a qualified power unit.
How Power Only Trucking Works
In a typical power only move, your trailer is already loaded, empty for repositioning, or staged for drop-and-hook. You provide the trailer number, location, destination, appointment windows, and any access notes. Logi Transports LLC posts the load to qualified carriers, confirms the power unit assignment, and shares driver contact and ETA details. The tractor hooks the trailer, completes the transit, and drops where you specify—yard, dock, or customer site.
Because the trailer stays under your control, you keep branding, equipment standards, and inventory visibility. The carrier focuses on the tractor and road time—ideal for private fleets needing surge capacity.
When Power Only Is the Right Fit
- You have loaded trailers ready and need tractors without delaying dock schedules.
- You must reposition empty trailers between plants, DCs, or customer sites.
- Your private fleet is short on drivers or power units during peak season.
- You run drop-and-hook programs and want consistent power coverage.
- You need specialty trailer moves (flatbed, step deck, or other owned equipment) pulled by an outside tractor.
Power only is less ideal when you do not own or control a trailer and need the carrier to supply both. In those cases a standard full truckload may fit better—see our power only vs full truckload comparison.
Equipment and Coordination Notes
Carriers must match fifth-wheel height, air and electrical connections, and weight or length limits. Share trailer type, length, GVWR, and special requirements (genset, air-ride, hazmat) at quote time. Note tight yards, appointment docks, or difficult access early.
Logi Transports LLC coordinates origin release, transit updates, and destination receiving. For drop-and-hook, see drop and hook power only; for empties, see empty trailer moves.
Who Uses Power Only Brokerage
Manufacturers with private trailer pools, retailers staging outbound vans, construction and industrial shippers with flatbeds, and logistics managers balancing fleet utilization all use power only. Freight brokers and 3PLs also request power units when their shipper clients supply trailers. Logi Transports LLC (MC-1636889, USDOT 4230991) operates as a licensed freight broker—we arrange capacity; we do not operate the trucks ourselves.
