Need the same truck every week?

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 timing. You want consistency but aren't sure if freight companies in Mississippi can guarantee the same truck and driver every week.

This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who take whatever loads are available. Different drivers mean starting over each time with dock procedures, delivery instructions, and your specific requirements. Your shipments get treated like one-time loads instead of regular business.

Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. Expect to pay 15-25% above standard rates for reliable capacity. The cost depends on your route frequency, load size, and special handling needs. Multi-year contracts often bring better pricing than month-to-month arrangements.

Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your regular Mississippi routes. You set the schedule and they assign the same driver and equipment to your account. This works best for businesses shipping weekly or more often on consistent routes. They handle specialty cargo including aluminum poles and oversized freight along I-55, I-20, and other major Mississippi corridors.

Once you have dedicated service, your driver learns your operation and becomes an extension of your team. No more explaining procedures to new drivers or dealing with delivery delays from unfamiliar routes. Your freight moves on your schedule with someone who knows your business.
