What Is Power-Only & Yard Move Service?
Power-only trucking is a flexible transportation solution where a carrier provides the tractor and driver (the "power unit") to pull a trailer owned or leased by the shipper. Yard moves involve the local repositioning of trailers within a facility or between adjacent logistics yards.
KIA Transport offers reliable power-only capacity to help you maximize the utilization of your own trailer fleet. Whether you need a tractor to move loaded trailers from your manufacturing plant to a nearby storage yard, or require extra power units to handle peak-season overflow, we provide the muscle on demand.
Who Is This Service For?
- Shippers who own or lease their own trailer fleets but need flexible tractor capacity.
- Logistics facilities requiring on-demand tractor units for yard management and trailer spotting.
- Intermodal operators needing local power to move dry vans, flatbeds, or specialized trailers.
- Businesses facing temporary driver shortages or tractor maintenance downtime.
