    Spotting Services

    Spotters, also known as yard jockeys, play a key role in moving trailers. Their main job is to move trailers to loading docks, staging areas, and parking spots, which is called spotting. They use special vehicles called yard trucks, made for quickly attaching and detaching trailers. By handling these tasks efficiently, they help drivers focus on their routes, improving the flow of goods and minimizing delays.

  • Forklift transporting boxes into a loading dock area

    LTL Shipping

    LTL, or less than truckload, refers to shipments that occupy only part of a truck's cargo space. Typically, items are shipped on pallets and can weigh up to 10,000 pounds. Multiple customers share a truck, being charged based on their space usage. Costs may vary based on the item type or extra services required.

  • Five semi-trucks parked in a row at Partner Carriers Inc.

    FTL Shipping

    FTL, or full truckload shipping, gives better control over routes and delivery times because the entire shipment goes to one location. It is ideal for perishable goods, heavy items, and urgent shipments.

  • Regional Trucking

    Regional trucking differs from national and local trucking as it involves drivers operating mainly within a specific area, typically covering several states or about 1,000 miles. This focus allows regional truck drivers to have a more consistent route and schedule, improving efficiency and building better relationships with clients in the region.

  • Three Partner Carriers Inc. semi-trucks parked in a row, featuring blue, white, and gray cabs with trailers attached, in a parking lot under a cloudy sky.

    Specialized Transportation

    Specialized transport moves goods that regular transportation can't handle. These items are usually larger or heavier than legal limits for road transport, or hazardous. Some products need special handling and must be packed with specific equipment.
