A dedicated fleet gives you capacity at a contracted rate on your busiest days.
Service facts
What it is
Dedicated fleet service, also called dedicated contract carriage, reserves trucks and drivers for one shipper. The trucks run your lanes on your schedule and are not shared with other customers, so capacity is available on peak days.
The contract
The number of trucks, the lanes, the rates and the service terms are set in the contract before service starts. Contracted rates stay fixed for the term rather than following the spot market, and billing is monthly.
Account management
A named account manager handles scheduling, escalations and reporting, so you have one contact who knows your operation.
What to send for a quote
Send the lanes you run, your weekly or monthly load counts by lane, the equipment you need, your pickup and delivery hours and any seasonal peaks. That is enough to size the number of trucks and draft the contract terms.
Coverage
Texas Freight Co. runs Texas and Gulf Coast routes from its headquarters in San Antonio.

FAQ
Dedicated Fleet: common questions
When does a dedicated fleet make sense?
When you ship steady volume on the same lanes every week and need guaranteed capacity at a predictable cost, rather than booking each load on the spot market.
Are the rates fixed?
Yes. Rates are set in the contract and stay fixed for its term.
Who manages a dedicated account?
A named account manager handles scheduling, escalations and reporting.
How long does it take to start?
Service starts on your timeline once the contract is agreed.
Can a dedicated fleet cover seasonal peaks?
The truck count is set in the contract. Share your seasonal volume during the review so the contract can account for peak periods.
