Need the trucker to help unload at the job site?
Specialty driver program for Oregon construction sites and active job locations.
You ordered light poles or fixtures shipped to an active job site in Oregon, not a warehouse dock. The lot is gravel, the crane stages in an hour, and the load needs positioning for a specific lift sequence. Most carriers drop curbside and leave, forcing your foreman to rerig what the driver could have placed in two minutes.
Standard freight drivers hit the delivery address and roll. They're trained to drive, not work the destination. Your construction site along Interstate 5 or Interstate 84 becomes their problem to solve, not their job to handle properly.
This creates real delays and extra labor costs. Your crew spends 30-60 minutes repositioning a load that arrived wrong. The crane operator bills hourly. Your foreman handles rigging that should have been done during delivery. These costs add up fast on Oregon job sites.
Hire a carrier whose drivers work the destination, not just hit it. Gateway Distribution's Specialty Driver Program trains drivers to stage the trailer for crane access, talk to your foreman before backing in, and stay through offload to release straps as your crew rigs each piece. Tell us what equipment will be waiting and we match the driver to the job before dispatch.
Your load arrives positioned correctly for the lift sequence. The driver coordinates with your crew and equipment operators. Your foreman focuses on the job, not fixing delivery problems.
