Drop & Hook Program
Keep Freight Moving, Eliminate Downtime
At Red Lightning Logistics, we understand that time at the dock is time off the road. Our Drop & Hook Trailer Program is designed to maximize efficiency, reduce detention time, and keep your operations running smoothly. By pre-positioning trailers at your facilities, we eliminate delays caused by live loading and unloading—ensuring that drivers stay productive and freight keeps moving.
Whether you’re a high-volume shipper or need flexible solutions during peak demand, Drop & Hook offers a faster, more reliable way to move freight.
How It Works
We strategically place trailers at your shipping and receiving locations so your team can load and unload at your convenience. Our network of trusted carriers then hook and haul pre-loaded trailers—minimizing dock congestion and streamlining your supply chain.
