We provide the power you need to keep your supply chain moving.
Power Only trucking is the backbone of flexible logistics. We provide the tractor unit and the driver; you provide the trailer. This model allows shippers and 3PLs to maximize the utilization of their trailer assets without the overhead of maintaining a fleet of tractors.
At Makalu Trucking, we specialize exclusively in this mode. This focus allows us to optimize our operations for “drop and hook” efficiency, reducing dwell times and keeping your freight moving.
Standard 53′ trailers. General freight, consumer goods, and non-perishables.
Temperature-controlled trailers. Food, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive cargo.
Open deck trailers. Construction materials, machinery, and oversized loads.
We invest in the best equipment to ensure reliability.
