Need trucks at the same time every month?
Dedicated freight contracts for consistent shipping schedules in Georgia, GA.
Your business ships the same volume every month and needs trucks on specific days. Regular freight companies can't guarantee capacity when you need it most. You're competing with everyone else for truck space, especially during peak shipping periods around Atlanta and across Georgia's major freight corridors.
This happens when you rely on spot market trucking instead of reliable capacity. Regular freight companies prioritize higher-paying loads and leave scheduled shippers without trucks. Your consistent monthly volumes make you perfect for a dedicated trucking contract.
Dedicated contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot rates but eliminate the uncertainty. The investment depends on your monthly freight volume and shipping frequency. Companies shipping 5-10 loads monthly see the biggest benefit from switching to reliable capacity.
Set up a manufacturer logistics partnership with Gateway Distribution. You get the same drivers and trucks on your schedule every month. They build custom routes around your shipping calendar so you never compete for truck space on I-75, I-85, or other busy Georgia freight routes.
You'll have guaranteed trucks on your dates with predictable rates year-round. No more scrambling for last-minute capacity or paying surge pricing during busy shipping periods.
