I need the same truck every week
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in New Mexico, NM.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your loading dock, your schedule, or your product requirements. Every week brings new delays and confusion. Dedicated trucking in New Mexico gives you priority handling on your lanes.
This happens because most freight companies use spot market drivers who take whatever loads are available. Different drivers mean different arrival times, loading procedures, and equipment. Your operation needs consistency but spot freight prioritizes filling trucks over building relationships.
Dedicated trucking costs 15-25% more than spot freight but 30-40% less than owning trucks. Price depends on your weekly volume, route distance, and equipment needs. Routes between Albuquerque and Santa Fe manufacturing facilities typically run $800-1200 per week for dedicated service.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss your shipping schedule and volume. You need at least one load per week to justify dedicated service. Gateway assigns the same driver and truck to your account, learning your specific requirements and timing. Most dedicated contracts run 12-24 months with locked-in rates.
Your shipments arrive on time with a driver who knows your operation. No more explaining your loading requirements every week. Your products get handled properly and your receiving customers know exactly when to expect delivery.
