Power Only Dispatch ServicesDrop, Hook and Go.

The math on power only is different from every other equipment type. A traditional dry van or reefer carrier spends significant hours per week loading, unloading and waiting at docks. Power only strips all of that out. You arrive, drop your empty, hook a preloaded trailer, and drive. That efficiency alone can lift weekly revenue by 20-30% for carriers who structure their week around trailer pool freight.

The trade-off is that power only requires access to trailer pool programs and brokers who consistently offer drop-and-hook freight. Not every dispatcher has those relationships. Skywards Solution has spent years building direct broker relationships and power only program access so our carriers stay loaded on drop-and-hook lanes.

Our power only dispatchers combine multiple sources of drop-and-hook freight to keep your tractor moving with minimal downtime.

The biggest mistake power only carriers make is treating one program as their only source of freight. Amazon Relay alone, XPO alone or one broker alone leaves gaps in the week when trailers aren't available. Skywards Solution builds power only dispatch across multiple sources so gaps are filled with backhaul freight from other pools or brokers.

We also negotiate rate. Power only linehaul on trailer pool programs is often a posted rate, but layover, detention and repositioning pay are negotiable. Our dispatchers push for every accessorial and every mile of paid deadhead to make sure your tractor is generating revenue during every hour of the week you're available to drive.

Power only has specific compliance requirements that regular flatbed or dry van doesn't. Trailer interchange coverage, non-owned trailer physical damage, and program-specific insurance minimums all need to be in place before you can pull a preloaded trailer. Our dispatchers walk you through what's required, verify your COI meets each program's minimums, and coordinate with your agent when adjustments are needed.

We also handle the ongoing paperwork — Relay onboarding, XPO drop-and-hook program applications, broker packet completion, EDI updates and factoring submissions. The goal is to keep your tractor moving while we manage everything behind it.
