Dedicated Contract Carriage

If you seek alternatives to private fleet ownership, or want more responsiveness from truckload common carriers, dedicated contract carriage may be a solution. Our dedicated program is also ideal for milk run delivery or in cases where specialized equipment and permits or licenses are required for transport. Upon customer request, we will perform a comprehensive analysis of your service, cost and other requirements to identify opportunities for cost reduction and added value using dedicated contract carriage options.
