What is Pool/Drop Trailers?

Pool/Drop Trailers are a type of trailer used in shipping and logistics to transport goods. They are typically owned and operated by third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and are used to consolidate shipments from multiple customers. Pool trailers are dropped off at a customer’s location and picked up later, while drop trailers are left at a customer’s location for an extended period of time.
