Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in North Carolina, NC.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver means explaining your process again, delays at pickup, and inconsistent service. This problem is common for businesses across North Carolina with regular shipping schedules.
Getting different drivers every week happens because most freight companies use spot market loads. They assign whatever driver is available when your shipment comes up. Each new driver has to learn your loading dock procedures, special handling requirements, and delivery preferences from scratch.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than owning your own trucks. You pay for reliable capacity and driver consistency. The price depends on your route frequency, cargo type, and distance. Weekly routes typically cost 15-20% more than spot rates but eliminate the chaos of constant driver changes.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your regular routes. Our Specialty Driver Program assigns the same trained driver and truck to your shipments on a schedule you set. The driver learns your operation once and becomes an extension of your team. You get consistent pickup times and reliable delivery.
With dedicated service, your shipping becomes predictable. The same driver knows your dock procedures and builds relationships with your receiving customers. You spend less time explaining requirements and more time running your business.
