(Typical Tractor Truck with Van Trailer)
- Trailer service is performed via Staged Trailer or Live Load.
- Sometimes customers have their own trailers and trucks and will deliver their material in.
- When trailers are staged, they are often used as extended storage for a customer.
- If a trailer is not moving more than twice a month, typically trailer rental is applied as the asset is not paying for itself and the customer is using the trailer for storage more than moving recyclable products.
- Live loads are just how they sound, the truck shows up either on scheduled pickup time or first come, first serve basis and is live loaded by the customer.
- LTL (Less than Truckload) is also an option but not frequently done in the Recycling Industry.
