Need trucks at the same time every month?
Dedicated trucking schedules for Georgia businesses with consistent shipping needs.
Your business ships the same amount every month. You need trucks on specific days but regular freight companies can't promise availability. In Georgia's busy shipping corridors along I-75 and I-285, truck space gets competitive when everyone needs service at once.
This happens because most trucking companies work first-come, first-served. They can't hold trucks for your monthly schedule when spot freight pays more. Your shipments get bumped or delayed when demand spikes around Atlanta's distribution hubs.
Dedicated trucking contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot rates but guarantee your schedule. The price depends on your route frequency, load size, and timing flexibility. Companies shipping 4-8 full truckloads monthly usually see the best value.
Set up a dedicated contract with fixed pickup dates. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your shipping calendar so the same drivers know your schedule and requirements. You get priority booking and consistent service without competing for truck space.
Your monthly shipments run on time every cycle. No more scrambling for available trucks or explaining delays to customers. Your freight moves when you need it to move.
Other things people in Georgia 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.
