Need the same truck every week?

You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your loading dock, your schedule, and your requirements all over again. Iowa businesses with regular freight needs want consistency, not surprises.

Different drivers every week means starting from scratch each time. New drivers don't know your dock procedures, your timing requirements, or how you handle special cargo. They might show up at the wrong time or miss important details about your operation. This creates delays and frustration for everyone involved.

Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than owning trucks. You get priority handling on your lanes, typically running 15-30% higher than standard rates. The price depends on your route frequency, cargo type, and distance. Most dedicated contracts require weekly or bi-weekly runs to make economic sense.

Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your Iowa routes. Their specialty drivers learn your specific operation and become an extension of your team. You set the schedule, they provide the same trained driver who knows your dock, your cargo, and your requirements. This eliminates the constant retraining cycle.

With dedicated service, your freight moves like clockwork. Your driver knows exactly when to arrive, how to handle your cargo, and what your customers expect. No more explaining procedures to strangers or dealing with missed appointments.
