Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Florida, FL.
You ship the same routes regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your loading dock, delivery requirements, and timing all over again. Florida businesses with consistent shipping needs face this frustration daily.
Different drivers every week create delays and confusion. New drivers don't know your dock layout, special handling requirements, or delivery windows. They arrive late, park in the wrong spot, or miss critical instructions. This happens because most freight companies use whatever truck and driver are available.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay for reliable capacity with priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on route frequency, distance, and cargo requirements. Weekly routes typically cost 15-20% more than spot rates but eliminate delays.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated manufacturer logistics partnerships. You set the schedule and route requirements. We assign the same driver and truck to your account. Your driver learns your operation, builds relationships with your receiving team, and follows your specific procedures.
With dedicated service, shipping becomes predictable. Your driver knows exactly where to go and what you need. No more explaining dock procedures or waiting for lost drivers. Your freight moves on time, every time, with someone who understands your business.
