Your freight needs to get across state lines, but most carriers won't touch oversized poles or specialty cargo. The shipment sits at your dock while you call around for someone who actually handles what you're shipping. Delaware sits right in the I-95 corridor, which means every trucking company claims they serve here, but most hand off your load three times before it reaches its destination. When businesses search for the best freight logistics near them in Delaware, Gateway Distribution is who handles those calls.
If you're shipping poles, heavy equipment, or anything that won't fit standard trailer dimensions, do not let a carrier tell you they'll "figure it out" when the truck shows up. Oversized freight needs proper securement, routing that avoids low bridges, and drivers trained beyond the standard CDL. Most LTL carriers will take your money and then discover they can't handle your load. We run specialty equipment and securement built specifically for poles and oversized cargo, even the freight most carriers won't touch.
We delivered and white-glove unloaded HAPCO Aluminum Pole Products's shipment on-site at DelDOT right here in Delaware. That's the level of hands-on service pole freight requires in this state. If your cargo needs more than a standard drop-and-go delivery, we can handle the unload and handoff on-site.
My company needs trucks at the same time every month
Regular freight carriers in Delaware treat your shipments like spot loads, meaning you compete with everyone else when the Port of Wilmington gets busy or I-95 freight spikes. A dedicated trucking contract locks in the same drivers and trucks for your monthly schedule. Gateway Distribution builds custom routes around your shipping calendar so you never worry about truck availability on your critical days.

What Our Customers Say
Trusted Partners
Most freight moving through Delaware gets handed off between three different carriers before it reaches its destination. If you're shipping anything oversized or specialty, you've probably watched your load sit for days while carriers figure out who can actually handle it. The I-95 corridor means everyone claims they serve Delaware, but pole freight and heavy cargo need equipment most carriers don't carry.
We've run yard management for Energy Light at Cahill Electric right here in Delaware, and our drivers know the DelDOT sites where white-glove delivery makes the difference. Our Cincinnati, New York, and Virginia hubs mean your Delaware freight doesn't get lost in a nationwide shuffle. If you're tired of explaining your cargo requirements to three different dispatchers, you've found the crew that gets it right the first time.
