Large Equipment Dispatch
Power Only Dispatch
Power only dispatch for tractor operators who pull a shipper- or broker-owned trailer rather than their own — common in drop-and-hook and trailer-repositioning freight.
5% dispatch fee — no long-term contracts.
How power only dispatch works
You bring the tractor; the trailer is already at the pickup location or supplied by the broker. That usually means less time waiting at the dock and more predictable turn times.
Freight & trailer types
Power only loads span dry van, reefer, and flatbed trailers depending on the shipper. We tell you the trailer type and drop location before you book.
What Apex handles for you
We source power only loads in your lanes, confirm trailer details and drop locations up front, negotiate the rate, and handle the booking paperwork.
