Need the same truck every week?
Dedicated trucking services from Gateway Distribution in Utah, UT.
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, longer wait times, and mistakes at pickup or delivery. You want consistency but aren't sure if freight companies in Utah can provide the same truck and driver every week.
This happens because most freight companies use spot freight or shared fleets. Different drivers get assigned to your loads based on availability, not familiarity with your operation. Each driver has to learn your specific requirements, loading procedures, and delivery protocols from scratch.
Dedicated trucking costs 15-25% more than spot freight but gives you priority handling on your lanes. The price depends on your route frequency, cargo type, and mileage. For businesses shipping weekly or multiple times per week, the consistency often pays for itself through reduced delays and fewer mistakes.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your Utah routes. You set the schedule and get assigned equipment that stays on your account. The driver learns your operation once and becomes part of your team. This works best for businesses with predictable shipping volumes on regular routes.
With dedicated service, your driver knows your loading dock, understands your cargo requirements, and builds relationships with your receiving contacts. No more explaining procedures or dealing with drivers who show up unprepared.
