Need the same truck every week for your route?
Dedicated trucking with consistent drivers from Gateway Distribution in Vermont, VT.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver needs instructions on where to park, which dock to use, and how your receiving process works. You want consistency but aren't sure if freight companies can actually deliver that.
This happens because most freight companies use different drivers and trucks for each shipment. They assign loads based on availability, not your needs. You end up training new drivers every week instead of focusing on your business.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than owning trucks. You get priority handling on your lanes. Pricing depends on your route frequency, distance, and cargo type. Weekly routes typically cost 15-25% more than spot rates but save time on driver training.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated service for your Vermont routes. They assign specific drivers trained on your operation, loading requirements, and delivery procedures. You set the schedule and they stick to it. Their specialty drivers know oversized cargo securement and customer interaction protocols.
Your shipments arrive on time with drivers who know your process. No more explaining dock procedures or dealing with equipment delays. You get reliable service without the cost of buying trucks or hiring drivers.
