Power Only Dispatch
Service USA

No trailer? No problem. LoadEX finds drop-and-hook and power-only loads that keep your truck moving all day — without the overhead of trailer ownership. All 48 states, all freight types.

Why Owner-Operators Run Power Only

Lower overhead, faster turns, and steady load availability — power only is one of the smartest models in trucking.

No Trailer Investment

Skip the $30,000–$60,000 trailer purchase. You bring the power unit — the shipper or broker provides the trailer.

Drop-and-Hook Efficiency

Drop the empty, hook the loaded trailer, and go. No waiting for live loads means more miles and more money per day.

Multiple Loads Per Day

In high-density distribution markets, power-only operators can run 2–3 loads daily — dramatically increasing weekly revenue.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Fewer assets mean fewer maintenance expenses. Focus on keeping your truck in top condition — not managing a trailer fleet.

Distribution Hub Access

Major distribution centers always need power units to move loaded trailers. Consistent freight in any market.

All 48 States

Power-only loads are available nationwide. We find the best-paying loads no matter where you're running.

Power Only Dispatch FAQ

What is power only trucking?

Power only trucking means you provide the truck (the power unit) and move trailers that belong to shippers, brokers, or logistics companies. You don't need your own trailer — you hook to their pre-loaded trailer and deliver it. This is also called drop-and-hook freight.

What are the benefits of power only for owner-operators?

Power only eliminates the capital cost of buying a trailer, reduces maintenance expenses, and allows faster turnaround — no waiting for live loads. Many power-only operators move multiple loads per day in distribution-heavy markets, maximizing earnings per hour.

What lanes and markets are best for power only freight?

Distribution center hubs — Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Memphis — have the highest density of power-only and drop-and-hook freight. We know these markets and target the highest-paying lanes for your home location.

Can I do both power only and regular dry van with LoadEX?

Yes. Many owner-operators run power-only when trailer pools are available and standard dry van or flatbed when they need more options. LoadEX dispatches across all freight types and can mix and match based on your location and availability.

What does LoadEX charge for power only dispatch?

Up to 8% of gross load revenue. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. Your first week is free — zero commission so you can see the results before you pay anything.
