Can I do 'Power Only' loads on TrueTMS?

The answer is YES! And here's how

First, you need to make sure that your business has a ‘Power Only’ Trailer listed in your assets. If not, let's help you create one quickly. 


  • Log in to TrueTMS on the web application. On the menu on the left of your home screen under the Other section, click on ‘Trailers’

  • Once the Trailers page opens, select ‘New Trailer’ from the top right.

  • Complete the details required making sure you select ‘Power only’ under Trailer type

  • Don't forget to click ‘Save’

Now that you have a Power Only Trailer listed, you can successfully assign a power only load. 


  1. Open the power only load you are wanting to assign and select ‘Assign’ from the top right.

  2. The system will conveniently alert you to the fact that this is a power only load and therefore you need only assign the driver and the tractor.

  3. Once assigned, select ‘Validate’ to save.

It is important to remember that when a power only load is created, you would need to select ‘Power only’(b) on the Trailer requirements page (page 2 when creating a load)
