A freight workflow where the driver uncouples the loaded trailer at a customer's yard, immediately couples to a pre-loaded outbound trailer, and rolls. No waiting on a dock, no live load. The good kind of stop — minutes instead of hours.
“Love this lane — every stop is drop and hook, I'm never on the dock more than fifteen minutes.”
