Your company needs trucks the same time every month?
Dedicated freight scheduling for Mississippi businesses with Gateway Distribution.
Your business ships the same volume every month, but regular freight companies can't promise you'll get a truck when you need it. You're competing with other shippers for available trucks. In Mississippi's busy shipping corridors along I-55 and I-20, that means delays when you can't afford them.
Regular freight companies book trucks first-come, first-served. When shipping volumes spike, you wait. Your monthly production schedule doesn't change, but truck availability does. Peak seasons, weather delays, and other shippers' urgent loads bump your freight to next week.
Dedicated trucking contracts solve this. You pay slightly more per load, but you get guaranteed truck space. The same drivers learn your loading process. Your freight moves on your schedule, not when trucks happen to be free. Most contracts start around 4-6 loads per month.
Call Gateway Distribution to set up a dedicated route. You'll get the same trucks and drivers every month. They build pickup schedules around your production calendar. No more competing for truck space or explaining your loading requirements to new drivers each time.
Your monthly shipments leave on time. Your customers get their orders when promised. You stop worrying about whether a truck will show up next month.
Other things people in Mississippi ask
oversized freight shipping
Flatbed trucks handle oversized cargo like machinery, steel beams, and construction equipment. Get the exact dimensions and weight before you call. Gateway Distribution specializes in flatbed transport for oversized freight that won't fit in enclosed trailers.
LTL vs full truckload
Use LTL for shipments under 10,000 pounds or less than 12 pallets. Full truckload makes sense for 15+ pallets or when you need faster transit. LTL costs less for small shipments but takes longer due to multiple stops.
dedicated trucking cost vs regular shipping
Compare your total monthly freight spend to a dedicated contract. Include the hidden costs like delays, damage, and staff time spent booking trucks. Most companies with 20+ shipments per month save money going dedicated.
expedited freight shipping cost
Expedited freight typically costs 50-150% more than standard shipping, depending on how fast you need it. Same-day service costs the most. Get quotes from multiple carriers and ask exactly what expedited means - some just mean faster loading, not faster transit.
flatbed vs enclosed trailer shipping
Use flatbed for anything over 8 feet tall, oddly shaped, or needing crane loading. Enclosed trailers protect from weather but limit height and loading options. Measure your cargo first, then pick the trailer type.
