Subhauler
A subhauler is an independent trucking company or owner-operator contracted by a primary carrier, freight forwarder, or logistics provider to handle a portion of their transportation needs. Subhaulers are often used to supplement a primary carrier's capacity during peak periods or to provide specialized services, such as the transportation of oversized or hazardous cargo. By working with subhaulers, primary carriers can increase their flexibility, expand their service offerings, and better manage costs.
