Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Minnesota, MN.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver needs training on your loading dock procedures, delivery requirements, and customer protocols. You want consistency in Minnesota but aren't sure if freight companies offer that level of service.
Different drivers every week means starting over each time. New drivers don't know your dock layout, your delivery windows, or how your customers prefer to receive freight. This creates delays, confusion, and extra work for your team. The problem gets worse during busy shipping seasons when carriers assign whoever is available.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay for consistent service with priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on your route frequency, cargo type, and seasonal needs. Most dedicated contracts require minimum weekly volumes to make the economics work.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your Minnesota routes. Our specialty driver program trains drivers beyond standard CDL requirements for cargo securement, customer interaction, and professional representation. You set the schedule and delivery requirements. We assign the same driver and truck to learn your operation.
With dedicated service, your driver becomes part of your team. They know your loading procedures, understand your customers, and handle your freight consistently. Your shipping becomes predictable and professional without the overhead of owning trucks.
