Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Connecticut, CT.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your dock procedures, security requirements, and delivery preferences all over again. Connecticut businesses with consistent shipping needs deserve better than random spot freight assignments.
This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who pick up whatever loads are available. Different drivers mean different equipment, different arrival times, and constant retraining on your specific requirements. Your receiving team wastes time explaining the same procedures to new faces every week.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. Expect to pay 15-20% above spot rates for priority handling on your lanes. Routes between Connecticut's major distribution centers along I-95, I-91, and I-84 work best for dedicated service. Minimum weekly volume requirements typically apply.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your Connecticut operation. You set the schedule and route requirements. The same driver learns your dock procedures, security protocols, and delivery preferences. Our specialty-trained drivers handle customer interaction and represent your brand at every stop.
Your shipping becomes predictable. No more explaining procedures to new drivers. No more wondering if your freight will arrive on time. Your receiving team knows exactly when to expect delivery and who will be behind the wheel.
