The Challenge
A client called our office in search of a solution to haul his 40-foot tanker trailer from Lakeland to Miami, FL. He had a functional trailer but needed a semi-truck, also known as a power unit, to tow it safely.
Strategy
How to Find a Driver To Provide Power Only Hauling Services For a Tanker Trailer
Our broker searched within these parameters to reduce transport costs because of the following factors:
- Reduction in fuel costs: A trucker driving in the same direction of delivery doesn’t have to go out of there way.
- The driver had an opportunity to earn money: Drivers generally don’t want to drive without a load. They lose money on fuel and don’t have any extra earnings from delivering a load.
Because the driver needed a load and was already heading in that direction, our broker was able to negotiate a rate lower than the average.
