About Power Only Trucking

Power-only trucking provides the tractor to pull pre-loaded trailers — no trailer ownership needed. Popular for intermodal drayage, trailer pools, and carriers wanting lower equipment costs.

Power Only Market in the Mountain West

Mountain West dry van operations face unique challenges from long distances between freight hubs and high deadhead percentages. Denver and Salt Lake City are the primary load origins, with Phoenix adding significant volume in the south. Carriers who can secure round-trip freight between these hubs perform well, but one-way loads into rural areas often require repositioning. The I-70 and I-80 corridors are critical arteries.
