Power Only Trucking – The Solution to Your Labor Issues
A call comes in around 7:00 pm, “I need a power only truck in Houston tomorrow morning.” The FLI team is off and running to find a driver with a tractor to be at the distribution center by 4:00 am. The driver and tractor are the “power” of the load. The loaded trailer needs to be dropped at a handful of retail stores within the Houston metro area; this is power only trucking.
Power only trucking is revolutionizing the supply chain trucking industry. It is the perfect solution for shippers and distributors with assets and trucks dealing with labor issues. With power only trucking, businesses can access the services they need, allowing them to optimize their resources and use their staff and trucks more efficiently. It is a cost-effective, flexible way to handle transportation needs. It is fast becoming the go-to solution for companies struggling with labor issues in the supply chain trucking industry.
The Problem: Limited Resources
Shippers and distributors, with assets and owned trailers, are dealing with the same labor issues that most companies have – limited resources when it comes to people. Power only trucking solves this problem by supplying just what you need when you need it.

We can address long-term solutions and short-term fixes. Either way, we want to deliver an immediate solution that is cost competitive and operationally sustainable.
