Need the same truck every week for your route?
Dedicated trucking with consistent drivers from Gateway Distribution in Michigan, MI.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your process again, delays at pickup and delivery, and wondering if they'll handle your freight properly. Michigan businesses with regular shipping need consistency.
This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who take whatever load pays best that day. You get whoever is available, not someone who knows your business. Different drivers mean retraining every delivery and unpredictable service.
Dedicated trucking costs 15-25% more than spot freight but gives you the same driver and truck on your schedule. Price depends on route frequency, distance, and cargo requirements. Companies shipping 2-3 loads per week or more usually break even compared to the delays and problems from inconsistent service.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your Michigan routes. You set the pickup schedule, and the same specially trained driver handles every load. They learn your operation, your customers, and how you want freight handled. No more explaining the same process to new drivers every week.
Your shipments run on time with drivers who know exactly what you need. Customers recognize the same professional driver, and you stop worrying about whether today's driver will follow your procedures.
