Full truckload freight typically weighs between 26,000 and 48,000 pounds or takes up most of a 53-foot trailer's floor space. Your cargo might be palletized goods, machinery, construction materials, or any combination that fills the trailer width and length. The shipment goes to one delivery address and you control the entire trailer space.
Shared trailer space slows everything down because other customers' freight gets priority based on geography, not your schedule. Your delivery date depends on how many stops the driver makes before reaching you. You pay for partial trailer space but get the delays of a multi-stop route.
Gateway Distribution loads your freight into a dedicated trailer that travels directly from your dock to your destination. The driver makes no intermediate pickups or deliveries along the route. Your shipment moves on your timeline without waiting for other customers' cargo to clear. Transit time depends only on driving distance, not routing complexity.
Your freight arrives on the committed delivery date with the same driver who picked it up. You have full use of the trailer's 48,000-pound capacity and 53 feet of floor space. No shared space means no risk of damage from other shipments shifting during transport.
