Need trucks at the same time every month?
Dedicated trucking schedules for consistent freight shipping in New Jersey, NJ.
Your business ships the same amount every month. You need trucks on specific days, but regular freight companies can't guarantee availability when you need it. In New Jersey's busy freight corridors along I-95 and I-78, competing for truck space during peak times leaves you scrambling.
This happens when your shipping needs are predictable but you're using on-demand trucking. Regular freight companies book trucks first-come, first-served. During busy periods, you get bumped or pay surge pricing. Your monthly shipments become a gamble instead of a reliable process.
A dedicated trucking contract typically costs 10-15% more than spot rates, but eliminates the uncertainty. The cost depends on your route distance, freight type, and monthly volume. Companies shipping 4-8 loads per month usually see the best value. Peak season surcharges disappear because your trucks are reserved.
Set up a dedicated contract with the same drivers and trucks on your schedule. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your shipping calendar so you never compete for truck space. You get guaranteed pickup dates, consistent transit times, and the same professional drivers who know your freight requirements.
Your monthly shipping becomes predictable. No more scrambling for available trucks or paying premium rates during busy periods. Your freight moves on schedule every month, and you can plan production around guaranteed pickup dates.
Other things people in New Jersey 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.
