    Anyone knows where to find power only loads? I sometimes need to go and pickup trailers a thousand miles away so instead of bob-tailing there I want to pull a power only load in that direction. I'm in Houston there're lot of containers coming out of the port of Houston so perhaps I can take one of those.

    Good luck with that I don’t think anyone is going to give up top secret info.

    If you Google Power only I think there are some companies that specialize in that. That might be what you're doing going to get those trailers but maybe you could find one that will take you closer to where you're headed.

    The containers I don't think would work. As far as I know container Freight is round trip because the chassis and the Box needs to go back to where it came from.
