FAQ

Service FAQs

What does FTL (full truckload) mean?

Full truckload means your freight fills, or is dedicated to, a single 53' dry van and stays on one trailer from pickup to delivery with no rehandling. It is faster and lower-risk than LTL for larger shipments.

How much weight can a 53' dry van carry?

Up to roughly 45,000 lbs depending on the commodity and trailer configuration. Send us your weight and we will confirm.

What is power only service?

You stage your own loaded trailer and we supply the tractor and a qualified driver to move it. It is ideal for drop-trailer programs and flexing capacity during busy periods.

Do you offer drop and hook?

Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Live load and unload is standard; tell us what works for your dock.
