Need trucks on the same days every month?
Dedicated trucking contracts for consistent monthly shipping in Oklahoma, OK.
Your business ships the same volume every month. You need trucks on specific dates. Regular freight companies can't guarantee space when you need it most in Oklahoma's competitive shipping market.
This happens when your business has predictable shipping cycles but uses spot market trucking. You compete with other shippers for available trucks. During peak seasons or tight capacity, you might not get trucks when you need them. Your shipments get delayed or cost more.
Dedicated trucking contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot rates but eliminate uncertainty. The price depends on your shipping volume, frequency, and route distance. Monthly contracts work best for businesses shipping 4-8 full truckloads per month on consistent schedules.
Set up a dedicated contract with priority handling for your freight. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your monthly shipping calendar. You get priority access to trucks without competing for space. Your drivers learn your specific loading requirements and delivery preferences.
Your monthly shipments move on time every time. No more scrambling for available trucks or paying surge pricing. Your customers get reliable delivery dates. Your shipping costs become predictable for better budget planning.
Other things people in Oklahoma 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.
