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 West Coast

West Coast dry van rates are bolstered by port-driven import freight from Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle-Tacoma. The sheer volume of containerized imports creates consistent outbound demand, especially eastbound loads. Rates tend to be higher than the national average due to operating costs and the imbalance between inbound (import) and outbound freight. California's regulatory environment adds compliance costs but also limits competition.
