Need trucks at the same time every month?
Dedicated trucking schedules for Utah businesses with consistent shipping needs.
Your business ships the same freight volume every month and needs trucks on specific dates. Regular freight companies can't guarantee truck availability when you need it most. Utah companies with predictable shipping patterns often struggle with inconsistent service from standard carriers.
This happens when your shipping needs are regular but freight companies treat you like a spot customer. Standard trucking services prioritize whoever pays the highest rate that week. Your monthly schedule doesn't matter to them because they're juggling hundreds of different shippers.
Dedicated trucking contracts typically cost 10-15% more than spot rates but guarantee your trucks show up. The price depends on your route length, freight volume, and how many trucks you need monthly. Companies shipping 4-6 full truckloads per month usually see the best value from dedicated service.
Set up a dedicated trucking agreement with Gateway Distribution before your next shipping cycle. You get the same drivers and trucks on your exact schedule. We build custom routes around your calendar so you never compete for truck space with other shippers.
Your freight moves on time every month without the stress of hunting for available trucks. You can plan production schedules and customer deliveries knowing your transportation is locked in.
Other things people in Utah 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.
