I need the same truck every week
Dedicated trucking solutions for Arizona manufacturers and regular shippers.
You ship the same route every week but keep getting different drivers who don't know your dock, your product, or your timing. Each new driver means explaining your operation again, delays at pickup, and inconsistent service. Arizona businesses with regular freight need predictable trucking, not a different face every time.
This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who take whatever load pays best that day. Your regular shipment gets whoever is available, not someone who knows your business. Different drivers mean longer pickup times, handling mistakes, and no relationship with your operation.
Dedicated trucking costs 15-25% more than spot freight but gives you the same driver and truck on your schedule. You pay a premium for consistency, but it's still cheaper than buying your own fleet. Routes between Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff work well for dedicated service because of predictable timing on Interstate 10 and Interstate 17.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your regular shipments. You set the schedule, we assign the same driver and equipment to your route. Your driver learns your operation, your dock procedures, and your delivery requirements. Multi-year contracts lock in predictable rates and capacity.
Once dedicated service starts, your weekly shipments run like clockwork. Same driver, same truck, same pickup time every week. No more explaining your operation to strangers or wondering if your freight will show up on time.
