Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking services from Gateway Distribution in Georgia, GA.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each week brings new faces who need to learn your loading dock, your timing, and your product requirements. This inconsistency slows you down and creates problems in Georgia's busy freight corridors along I-75 and I-285.
Different drivers every week means starting over each time. New drivers don't know your dock layout, your product handling requirements, or your timing needs. They ask the same questions, make the same mistakes, and slow down your operation. This happens because most freight companies use whatever truck is available when your shipment is ready.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay a premium for consistency, usually 15-30% above standard rates. The cost depends on your route frequency, distance, and cargo type. Regular weekly runs typically get better pricing than monthly shipments.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your regular routes. You get the same driver and truck on a schedule you control. The driver learns your operation and becomes part of your team. This works best for businesses shipping weekly or more often on consistent routes throughout Georgia and beyond.
With dedicated service, your driver knows exactly what to expect when they arrive. Loading goes faster, problems get solved quickly, and your customers receive consistent service. You control the schedule instead of waiting for available capacity.
