I need the same truck every week

You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't understand your operation. Each new driver slows down your loading process and makes mistakes that cost time. Washington manufacturers need consistency, not a revolving door of unfamiliar trucks.

Different drivers every week create real problems. New drivers don't know your dock setup, your product requirements, or your timing needs. They ask questions that slow down loading, make mistakes with paperwork, and can't anticipate problems before they happen. This inconsistency costs you time and creates stress.

Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than buying your own trucks. You pay a premium for priority handling on your lanes. Most dedicated contracts require regular weekly or bi-weekly shipments. The cost depends on your route length, frequency, and equipment type.

Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your Washington operation. Dedicated service gives you the same driver who learns your business, knows your dock procedures, and shows up when expected. You set the schedule and route. The driver becomes part of your team instead of a stranger every week.

With dedicated service, loading becomes faster and smoother. Your driver knows exactly what you need and how you work. Deliveries happen on time without surprises. You get predictable transportation that works like clockwork.
