Ive always seen tractors pulling trailers from different companies. How does that work? A trailer number on the BOL and a note saying "your looking for a swift trailer # 37225"
Ive always wondered.....

The Pyle driver hooks on and takes the Dayton Freight trailer and the Dayton Freight Driver hooks up to the Pyle trailer and heads west with it. I see it everyday around here.
Or USF Holland and Speedy Transport. Speedy Transport is the Canadian LTL company USF Holland interlines with and Holland uses Speedy's trailers so much I actually thought that they bought them out lol.Speed_Drums, silverspur, Longarm and 5 others Thank this. -
A lot of Truckload Carriers also engage in what’s called Trailer interchange programs. They’re all covered amongst the Companies. JB Hunt had a deal with Wal Mart, along with Schneider and a few others, that allowed any of them to pull an empty from a DC after delivering. I could do it myself, as a single Truck O/O, with anyone, Let them use my trailer, or use theirs, just have to get the proper insurance coverage.

I have done it once, when I hired another Carrier to deliver my load. I also let them load it back. No different than adding any coverage. But how others keep track, I have no idea.
