I need the same truck every week
Dedicated trucking services from Gateway Distribution in Kentucky, KY.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver takes time to learn your loading dock, your paperwork, and your timeline. You want consistency but aren't sure if freight companies in Kentucky can deliver that.
This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who pick up whatever loads are available. Different drivers mean different arrival times, different handling methods, and constant re-training on your specific requirements. Your shipments become unpredictable even when the route stays the same.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. Expect to pay 15-20% above standard rates for the same driver and equipment every week. The cost depends on your route frequency, load size, and special handling needs. Routes along I-65, I-71, and I-75 through Kentucky typically have the most options.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your regular shipments. You set the schedule and requirements. The same specialty-trained driver learns your operation and handles every load. This works best for businesses shipping weekly or more often on consistent routes through Kentucky.
With dedicated service, your shipments become predictable. The same driver arrives on time, knows your dock procedures, and handles your freight the same way every trip. No more training new drivers or wondering when your truck will show up.
