Will the driver help unload at the job site?
Gateway Distribution's specialty driver program covers Wisconsin job sites statewide.
You ordered light poles or fixtures delivered to an active Wisconsin construction site. The crane arrives in an hour, but most carriers drop curbside and leave. Your foreman ends up repositioning the entire load that the driver could have staged properly in minutes.
Most freight drivers are trained to deliver, not work the destination. They hit the address, drop the trailer wherever it fits, and roll to the next load. This leaves your crew scrambling to move poles and fixtures into position for crane access or proper lift sequences.
Repositioning a load costs time and labor your job budget didn't plan for. Depending on the size of your shipment and site conditions, this can mean an extra hour of crew time or rental equipment to get materials where they need to be. Gravel lots along I-94 or I-39 make this even trickier.
Choose a carrier whose drivers work the destination, not just hit it. Gateway Distribution's Specialty Driver Program trains drivers to stage trailers for crane access, coordinate with your on-site foreman before backing in, and stay through the offload to release straps as your crew rigs each piece. Tell us what equipment will be waiting and we match the driver to your specific job requirements.
Your poles arrive positioned for immediate lifting. The crane operator can start work on schedule, your crew stays focused on installation instead of load repositioning, and the job moves forward without delays.
