Back-office dispatch support
Coverage for peak days, after-hours, and named accounts under your operating standards.
PARTNER 3PL / 4PL EXECUTION
Planning capacity for partners who run disciplined freight.
PowTrans plugs into 3PL and 4PL operations as an execution intelligence layer — overflow dispatch, planning support, exception desk coverage, and reporting that runs against your decision boundaries, not ours.

Where partners feel it
Six places execution capacity quietly runs out.
None of these are technology problems. They're operating-discipline problems with a technology cost.
- 01
Overflow execution support
Peak days and seasonal spikes that exceed in-house dispatch capacity.
- 02
Planner / dispatcher workload
Senior planners stuck on load-by-load coordination instead of strategic work.
- 03
Visibility gaps
Updates that arrive after the customer is already asking — across multiple systems.
- 04
Manual reporting
Weekly recaps assembled by hand from spreadsheets, email, and TMS exports.
- 05
Margin leakage
Decisions made on gross rate instead of margin against true cost-to-serve.
- 06
Inconsistent decision workflows
Each planner runs a different playbook. The operation lives in tribal knowledge.
Support models
Five ways we slot in.
Pick the support model that matches the gap. Each engagement is scoped, documented, and operates against your decision boundaries.
Planning intelligence layer
Load scoring, driver-fit, and plan-of-day support that augments your existing planners.
Exception desk support
Documented playbook for delays, dwell, reroutes, and customer-facing communication.
Reporting support
Weekly performance, lane-level views, and exception summaries on a regular cadence.
Pilot Command Center workspace
Scoped pilot of the PowTrans planning workspace inside your operation, with your decision boundaries.
What we are. What we aren't.
PowTrans is explicit about the line between execution intelligence support and full outsourced 4PL control. Both are valid — they are not the same engagement.
WHAT WE SUPPORT
- Execution intelligence (scoring, planning, signals)
- Workflow coordination across your existing systems
- Overflow dispatch and exception desk coverage
- Reporting and weekly review cadence
REQUIRES SEPARATE SCOPE
- Full outsourced 4PL control
- Compliance ownership across the partner network
- Direct TMS / visibility-platform integrations
- Carrier-of-record or financial-of-record responsibility
Engagement boundary
Full outsourced 4PL control requires a separate contract, compliance review, and integration scope. PowTrans does not currently publish FMCSA, MC/DOT, insurance, or carrier-authority claims pending verification and legal review. Live integrations to partner TMS and visibility platforms are evaluated case-by-case and are not active in this preview.
