My company needs trucks at the same time every month
Dedicated FTL scheduling for consistent monthly shipping in Colorado, CO.
Your business ships the same volume every month and needs trucks on predictable dates. Regular freight companies can't guarantee truck availability when you need it most. Colorado companies with monthly shipping cycles often compete for the same limited truck capacity.
Monthly shipping schedules create a problem. Most freight companies work first-come, first-served. When your shipping date arrives, trucks might not be available. You end up waiting days or paying rush rates to meet deadlines.
Dedicated trucking contracts solve this. You pay for guaranteed truck capacity on your schedule. Costs typically run 10-15% higher than spot rates, but you eliminate delays and rush charges. The investment pays off through predictable shipping costs and reliable delivery dates.
Set up a dedicated FTL contract that matches your monthly cycle. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your shipping calendar. You get priority handling every month. No competing for truck space during busy periods.
Your monthly shipping becomes automatic. Trucks arrive on schedule every month. Your customers get predictable delivery dates. You can plan inventory and production around guaranteed transportation capacity.
Other things people in Colorado ask
oversized freight shipping
Flatbed trucks handle oversized cargo like machinery, steel beams, and construction equipment. Get the exact dimensions and weight before you call. Gateway Distribution specializes in flatbed transport for oversized freight that won't fit in enclosed trailers.
LTL vs full truckload
Use LTL for shipments under 10,000 pounds or less than 12 pallets. Full truckload makes sense for 15+ pallets or when you need faster transit. LTL costs less for small shipments but takes longer due to multiple stops.
dedicated trucking cost vs regular shipping
Compare your total monthly freight spend to a dedicated contract. Include the hidden costs like delays, damage, and staff time spent booking trucks. Most companies with 20+ shipments per month save money going dedicated.
expedited freight shipping cost
Expedited freight typically costs 50-150% more than standard shipping, depending on how fast you need it. Same-day service costs the most. Get quotes from multiple carriers and ask exactly what expedited means - some just mean faster loading, not faster transit.
flatbed vs enclosed trailer shipping
Use flatbed for anything over 8 feet tall, oddly shaped, or needing crane loading. Enclosed trailers protect from weather but limit height and loading options. Measure your cargo first, then pick the trailer type.
