Need trucks on the same schedule every month?
Dedicated full truckload shipping keeps your Nebraska business on track.
Your business ships the same volume every month. You need trucks on specific dates to meet customer deadlines. Regular freight companies can't guarantee truck availability when you need it most, especially during peak seasons in Nebraska's agricultural corridors along I-80.
When you ship consistent volumes monthly, you're competing with spot market shippers for the same trucks. Regular carriers prioritize higher-paying loads, leaving you scrambling for transportation. This creates delays, missed deadlines, and frustrated customers who depend on your reliability.
Dedicated trucking contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot rates but eliminate scheduling uncertainty. Your monthly shipping volume and frequency determine contract pricing. Companies shipping 4-8 full truckloads monthly see the biggest benefits from dedicated service.
Set up a dedicated trucking agreement with consistent drivers and equipment. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your monthly shipping calendar, so you never compete for truck space. Your dedicated trucks arrive on your schedule, not when carriers have availability.
With dedicated service, your monthly shipments move like clockwork. You know exactly when trucks arrive and depart. Your customers receive consistent delivery dates, and your team can plan production around guaranteed transportation.
Other things people in Nebraska 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.
