Drop Trailer service, stated plainly
- Goldmax drop-trailer programs place one or more company-owned 53-foot dry vans at a customer facility; the customer loads on its own schedule and a Goldmax tractor swaps loaded for empty on an agreed cadence.
- Pools are available in Chicago and Dallas from a 120-trailer fleet; every trailer carries GPS, and dwell and location are shown on the customer portal.
- Because no driver waits during loading, detention does not accrue on drop-trailer freight.

Drop Trailer questions shippers ask
How many trailers can you place at my facility?
Pools range from a single trailer to a dozen or more, sized to your weekly volume and dock capacity.
Does drop trailer service reduce detention charges?
Yes. Because no driver waits while you load, the detention clock never starts.
Can I see where my dropped trailers are?
Every Goldmax trailer carries GPS. Location, dwell time and load status appear on the customer portal.
