Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Mississippi, MS.
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 inconsistent service. Mississippi businesses with regular shipping needs often face this problem with standard freight services.
This happens because most trucking companies use spot freight or pool services. Different drivers pick up loads based on availability and location. Your shipment gets whoever is free that day. They don't know your loading dock setup, special handling requirements, or delivery preferences.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. Expect to pay 15-25% more than standard rates for the same driver and equipment each week. Cost depends on your route distance, frequency, and any special equipment needs. Regular routes along I-55, I-20, or I-10 through Mississippi typically qualify for dedicated service.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your regular shipments. You set the schedule and get the same driver who learns your operation. Our specialty-trained drivers handle customer interaction at delivery sites and represent your brand on every load. This works best for businesses shipping weekly or more often on consistent routes.
Your shipments run on schedule with a driver who knows your process. No more explaining dock procedures or delivery requirements. Your customers see the same professional driver who understands their receiving operation too.
