Frequently Asked Questions
How does drop trailer service differ from live load?
With a drop trailer, a trailer is staged at your facility in advance, your team loads when ready, and we pick it up later. It’s more flexible and reduces dock congestion.
What kind of freight is best suited for drop trailers?
Steady or repeat shipments, high-volume moves, or operations that need more control over load timing all benefit from drop trailer programs.
How many trailers can I reserve?
We scale to your volume, whether you need one trailer for a seasonal surge or multiple positioned for steady weekly turns.
Can I use drop trailer service for cross-border shipments?
Yes, we can coordinate drop trailer freight across the U.S. and into Canada where facilities and compliance requirements allow.
What information helps you quote a drop trailer plan?
Origin/destination, expected frequency, loading times, commodity type, equipment preferences, and any on-site requirements like yard hours or contact procedures.
