I need the same truck every week
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Missouri, MO.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your dock procedures, special handling requirements, and timing all over again. Missouri businesses with consistent shipping needs want the reliability of the same truck and driver every week.
Different drivers every week means lost time training each one on your specific requirements. Spot freight gives you whoever is available, not who knows your business. Your shipments get treated like every other load instead of getting the specialized attention your operation needs.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay for reliable capacity with priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on your route frequency, load size, and any special handling requirements your freight needs.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your regular Missouri routes. You set the schedule and we assign the same driver and truck to learn your operation. Your driver becomes familiar with your dock procedures, timing requirements, and any special handling your freight needs.
Your shipments move on time with a driver who knows your business. No more explaining procedures to new drivers every week. Your freight gets consistent, reliable service that works around your operation instead of forcing you to adapt to different drivers.
