Need the same truck every week for your shipments?
Dedicated trucking solutions from Gateway Distribution in Washington, WA.
You ship the same route regularly but keep getting different drivers who don't know your operation. Each new driver takes time to learn your loading dock, your procedures, and your timeline. You want consistency but aren't sure if freight companies can provide it in Washington.
Different drivers every week creates chaos for your shipping operation. Each new driver needs to learn your dock layout, understand your cargo requirements, and figure out your timing. This happens because most freight companies use whoever is available, not dedicated teams. The result is delays, confusion, and extra work for your staff.
Dedicated trucking costs more than spot freight but less than owning trucks. You pay a premium for consistency, typically 15-25% above standard rates. The cost depends on your route frequency, cargo type, and distance. Regular weekly or bi-weekly shipments make the most sense financially. Less frequent shipping usually doesn't justify the dedicated rate.
Call Gateway Distribution to discuss dedicated trucking for your Washington routes. You'll get the same driver and truck on a schedule you set. Our specialty-trained drivers learn your operation, your dock procedures, and your cargo requirements. They become an extension of your team rather than a different face every week.
With dedicated service, your shipments run like clockwork. Your staff knows exactly who's coming and when. Your driver knows your operation inside and out. Loading and delivery become routine instead of a training session every time.
