How Every Shipper Can Benefit From Modern Drop-and-Hook

Speed. Flexibility. Simplicity. It’s no wonder that shippers and carriers love drop and hook.


Speed. Flexibility. Simplicity. It’s no wonder that shippers and carriers love drop and hook. In fact, the majority of US Fortune 500 shipments are sent through preloaded drop trailers.

The challenge with drop has been one of scale. Traditional drop services are limited to specific lanes and regions, and when demand surges, they can’t flex up to accommodate the additional volume. Convoy Go lets carriers of all sizes, including owner-operators, haul power-only loads, offering you flexible, nationwide capacity with the reliability you’ve come to expect from asset-based carriers. And, technological advancements provide unmatched scale, flexibility, and visibility through the use of machine learning and automation.

Download Convoy’s White Paper to learn the differences between traditional and modern drop services, four things you should expect from a modern drop provider, and how Convoy uses innovative technology to address the challenges of building a nationwide drop network.
