I need the same truck every week
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Nebraska, NE.
You ship the same route every week but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Your delivery windows slip because new drivers get lost or don't understand your loading process. Nebraska businesses need consistency, especially when shipping along I-80 or connecting Lincoln and Omaha routes.
Different drivers every week means starting from scratch each time. New drivers don't know your dock setup, your loading requirements, or your delivery preferences. They get lost, show up late, or need extra supervision. This happens because most freight companies use whatever truck is available instead of assigning dedicated equipment.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay a premium for priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on your route length, frequency, and cargo type. Most contracts require consistent weekly volume to make the economics work.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your regular Nebraska routes. You set the schedule and delivery requirements. Gateway assigns one driver who learns your operation and shows up when expected. This works best for businesses shipping the same route at least weekly.
With dedicated service, your driver knows your dock, your process, and your timeline. Deliveries happen on schedule. You spend less time training new drivers and more time running your business.
