When should I book freight shipping?

You need to ship freight but aren't sure how far ahead to book. Sometimes you can't get capacity when you need it. Other times you book too early and your freight isn't ready. Nevada's busy shipping corridors along I-15 and I-80 make timing even more critical.

Booking too late means no available trucks. Booking too early ties up your cash and creates scheduling headaches. The right timing depends on your shipment type and the season. Peak periods like harvest time, back-to-school, and holidays fill up fast.

LTL shipments need 1-2 days advance notice for standard service. Full truckload requires 2-5 days depending on the season and route. Expedited services cost more but can often pick up the same day. Holiday seasons and harvest periods may need a week or more lead time.

Book your shipment as soon as you know your pickup date. Contact Gateway Distribution when your freight is ready to ship, not when you think it might be. Same-day expedited service is available for urgent Nevada shipments along major routes like I-15 between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.
