Drop Trailer
Take control of your loading dock with our drop trailer program. We pre-position trailers at your facility so your team loads on your schedule — no driver waiting, no detention charges, no missed pickup windows. Pick up happens when the trailer is ready.
What is Drop Trailer?
A drop trailer program places empty trailers at your location in advance so you can load at your own pace. When loading is complete, a driver hooks and transports the loaded trailer. This model eliminates driver dwell time, reduces live-unload detention, and gives high-volume shippers the dock flexibility they need to operate efficiently.
Ideal For:
- High-volume shippers
- Facilities with slow loading operations
- Shippers with unpredictable schedules
- Distribution centers
Applications:
- Retail Distribution
- Food & Beverage
