No matter how many goods your business ships on a regular basis, one thing is certain: there’s no room in your schedule for inefficiency.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few factors beyond your control that can have a negative impact. Issues with loading and unloading, dock congestion, seasonal surges in demand, and other aspects of the shipping industry can all cause delays and cut into your bottom line.

Trailer pools solve many of these issues, and below, we’ll explain four great benefits of choosing to invest in AGM Transport’s trailer pools. Contact our team when you’re ready to get started!

Large Trailer Inventory

Trailer pools essentially act as reserves of equipment that can be used on demand. If you need more space due to a seasonal surge or simply because your company is growing and moving more inventory, a trailer pool can provide you with equipment flexibility without requiring you to invest in additional trailers.

Quick Turnaround

Without a trailer pool, drivers often have to wait until each truck has finished loading and unloading at the destination dock. This creates congestion, inefficiency, and erodes your bottom line. Trailer pools allow drivers to arrive, drop their loaded trailer, and pick a fully loaded trailer up immediately. The result? Drivers maximize their time on the road and avoid unnecessary detention.

Flexible Schedules

Building off of the previous point, idle time and wasted miles ultimately eat into drivers’ schedules and make it difficult for them to stay consistent. This is anything but ideal when deadlines are at stake. By providing drivers with the option to drop their trailers and pick a new shipment up, shippers and receivers can enjoy more flexibility in loading and unloading. Drivers, shippers, and receivers all benefit from this increase in flexibility that’s been unavailable in the shipping industry until relatively recently.
