Your freight is stuck somewhere between the manufacturer and your Florida job site. The poles you ordered three weeks ago are sitting in a yard in Ohio. Your contractor is calling every day asking where the shipment is. When people in Florida search for the best freight logistics near me, Gateway Distribution is who picks up those calls.
If you're moving oversized freight like flag poles or light poles, do not trust it to a standard LTL carrier. Most carriers will not touch poles over 30 feet because they don't have the securement equipment or routing software for oversized loads. The fix is a specialty carrier with pole-specific trailers and drivers trained on securement. Crews that handle Florida deliveries year-round know which routes avoid low bridges and weight restrictions. We run dedicated pole logistics with equipment built specifically for oversized freight.
We moved flag and light poles from Admiral Flag Poles to Marmer Construction right here in Florida last month. That's the kind of freight most carriers turn down, but it's what we built our routes around. If your poles are sitting in a yard somewhere and your job site is waiting, we can get them moving.
My company needs trucks at the same time every month
You ship the same pallets to the same customers every month, but finding trucks in Florida's competitive freight market means fighting for space with everyone else. Regular carriers bump your loads when they get better offers, leaving your monthly shipments scrambling for last-minute trucks at higher rates. Set up a dedicated contract with Gateway Distribution to lock in the same drivers and trucks on your exact schedule, so your monthly freight moves like clockwork without competing for space.
Why You Can Trust Us
What Our Customers Say
Trusted Partners
Most freight heading to Florida comes through hub networks that add days to your timeline. If you're waiting on poles, equipment, or specialty materials, you've probably watched your delivery date slip from Tuesday to Friday to next week. The problem gets worse during hurricane season when carriers reroute everything inland and delays stack up across the Southeast.
We run dedicated routes through our Cincinnati, New York, and Virginia hubs with regular Florida deliveries. Our drivers are trained beyond standard CDL requirements for oversized cargo and customer handoffs at job sites. If your freight is time-sensitive and sitting somewhere up north, you've probably seen our trucks on I-75 already.
