Your company needs trucks at the same time every month?
Dedicated trucking schedules for consistent Florida freight shipping.
Your business ships the same volume every month in Florida. You need trucks on specific dates to meet deadlines. Regular freight companies can't promise you'll get a truck when you need it most.
Monthly shipping schedules get disrupted when you compete with other companies for available trucks. Standard freight carriers book loads first-come, first-served. During busy seasons or around holidays, your regular shipping dates might not have trucks available. This creates delays that ripple through your entire operation.
Dedicated trucking contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot market rates but eliminate scheduling uncertainty. The investment depends on your monthly volume and route consistency. Companies shipping 4-8 full loads monthly usually see the best value from dedicated arrangements.
Set up a dedicated trucking contract that reserves trucks and drivers for your specific schedule. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your monthly shipping calendar. You get the same professional drivers who learn your loading requirements and delivery preferences. Your trucks arrive on the same days every month, regardless of market demand.
Your monthly shipments run like clockwork with dedicated service. No more scrambling to find trucks during peak seasons. Your customers receive their orders on time, every time.
Other things people in Florida 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.
