Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking with consistent drivers for Missouri businesses.
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, your paperwork, and your delivery requirements. You want consistency but don't know if freight companies can actually deliver it in Missouri.
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 customer relationships. Your operation suffers when drivers don't know your specific requirements.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than owning trucks. You get priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on your route frequency, distance, and cargo requirements. Most dedicated contracts start around 3-5 loads per week to make the economics work.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss your shipping pattern and volume. They can set up dedicated service with drivers trained on your specific operation. The driver learns your dock procedures, knows your customers, and represents your brand at every delivery. You set the schedule and routes.
With dedicated service, you eliminate the training time and relationship building that comes with new drivers. Your customers see the same professional driver who knows their receiving procedures. Your shipping becomes predictable and reliable.
