Power-only freight
Tow-Away Trailers
Power-only and tow-away moves for new, used, and repositioned trailers — booked, papered, and tracked.
The freight
What tow-away trailers work really is
Tow-away (power-only) work means your tractor is the product: you hook to someone else's trailer — often brand new off the manufacturer's line — and deliver it. No freight in the box, no loading docks, no lumpers.
The catch is that the trailer is the cargo, so condition documentation, interchange agreements, and insurance wording matter more than on a normal load. We handle that fine print before you hook.
Who this is for
- Owner-operators running tractors without trailers
- Fleets filling gaps between dedicated contracts
- Drivers who want dock-free, drop-and-hook style work
