FREE Lift Gate Delivery… Well not really free…but Gateway has no Accessorial Charge for Lift Gate Service on our tariffs. Why? Because all of our P&D Box Truck Equipment has Lift Gates on them. LTL Companies and other service providers will tell you they charge not for the equipment but for the service. They will tell you that liftgate service takes more time than dock height unload or forklift unload, in some cases this is not true. It’s been known for an LTL company to show up to a warehouse be told their forklift equipment is in use and you will be unloaded next, which then the driver has to wait for some time, so the driver unloads the one pallet with the lift gate and adds the lift gate charge to speed up the delivery. Tell me it ain’t so?? lol P&D is just a timing challenge, in some companies it’s an equipment challenge as well, but here at Gateway we ensure all the box truck equipment we own or lease has a liftgate. That way we know our driver can always get loaded or unloaded in a timely manner. Need a good liftgate service without the extra charge? (In the voice of Tom Bodett) Here at Gateway we will always leave (the liftgate) light on for you. Have a great day my friends #PapaFreight #3pl #lsp #logistics #trucking #shipping #finalmile #firstmile #delivery

https://lnkd.in/gHrSkhc4 A fuel surcharge is an additional fee that companies add to cover increased fuel costs. It's commonly seen in industries like transportation (airlines, shipping, trucking) or services that heavily rely on fuel.

Oway (YC S24) is a marketplace that makes freight shipping up to 50% cheaper for businesses by automatically “ridesharing” shipments using unused truck space going along the same route. Every year, almost half of all truck space in the $900B+ US trucking industry goes unused. Founded by Phillip Nadjafov, Oway is popularizing rideshare freight shipping as an alternative to LTL (less-than-truckload) while also maximizing revenue for independent trucking companies by filling their unused capacity on the road. When you place an order, Oway automatically matches and adds quick detours for independent truck drivers who are going to the same final destination as you with empty space. This saves you money, skips warehouse transfers (which reduces damage), and earns truck drivers more income. Paperwork is fully automated, and tracking is integrated. Congrats, Phillip, on the launch! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gFF5JUB3

Something that has stuck with me since I listened to Bill Driegert on FreightCaviar last Friday. When you think about it, this single load automation trajectory that we are on for better and worse could benefit small carriers and owner-operators the most IF we can transform what was before a single load-single transaction into a continuous re-engagement opportunity that has the relationship feel at the marginal cost of almost nothing. Everyone wins, but owner operators the most. #freighttech #freightbrokers #freight

Struggling to find the right loads for your pickup truck business? No worries, HAULK got you covered! 🛻 One of the best ways to find loads is by using online load boards like Central Dispatch. These platforms directly connect carriers with shippers who have cargo available. You can easily search, filter, and book loads all in one place. Another option is to partner with a freight broker. They’ll act as the intermediary, helping you find the best loads and optimize your routes for maximum efficiency and earnings. Just be sure to work with a reputable broker who has your best interests in mind. 💰 If you want to cut out the middleman fees, reach out directly to shippers - especially for high-value cargo like luxury cars. This takes more legwork to build your network of contacts, but can really pay off. Just be ready to create personalized offers to stand out from the competition. Don’t forget about government contracts too. State and regional agencies often need pickup truck carriers for their logistics needs. You’ll have to register as a contractor, but it can be a reliable source of consistent work. Finally, make sure you have the right tools to streamline your operations. A powerful TMS like Haulk can help you prioritize loads, assign drivers, track deliveries, and so much more. It’ll transform your business. Try out these strategies and let us know if you have any other questions!
