Trucker won't help unload at the job site?
Gateway Distribution's specialty driver program in Louisiana, LA handles on-site delivery.
Your light poles or fixtures arrive at the construction site, but the driver drops curbside and leaves. Now your crew has to reposition everything before the crane arrives. Louisiana job sites need drivers who understand the unloading process, not just the delivery address.
Most freight carriers train drivers to deliver to the address and nothing more. They drop the load wherever the trailer fits and leave your crew to handle the rest. This creates delays when equipment arrives staged wrong for crane access or boom truck positioning.
Repositioning materials costs time and labor your project budget didn't include. Heavy poles and fixtures require proper staging before lift equipment arrives. The wrong placement can delay your entire installation schedule and tie up expensive equipment.
Choose a carrier whose drivers work with your on-site crew through the entire unload. Gateway Distribution's Specialty Driver Program trains drivers to coordinate with your foreman, position the trailer for crane access, and stay through the offload to release straps and tarps as each piece gets rigged. Tell us what equipment will be waiting and we match the right driver to your job.
Your materials arrive positioned correctly for immediate installation. The crane operator can access each piece in the planned sequence. Your crew stays on schedule and your equipment time stays productive.
