Spot freight is a grind. You're searching the board every delivery, taking whatever's available, and watching your rate per mile swing $0.50 week to week. Dedicated lanes fix that - same routes, negotiated rates, predictable income. We help you build those relationships and hold them.
The Dedicated Advantage
Dedicated lanes don't happen overnight - they're built through consistent service and broker relationships. Here's what the process looks like and what you gain once the lanes are established.
We identify shippers with consistent weekly volume on your lanes and put your truck in front of them. One-time loads become recurring runs when you show up on time and communicate clearly.
Dedicated rates average 8–15% above spot market on the same lane - because shippers are paying for reliability, not just transportation. That premium holds even when the spot market softens.
Once your lanes are set, you can project your monthly gross within about 10–15%. That's the difference between running a business and chasing freight. Dedicated carriers don't refresh DAT every morning.
Not every shipper is a good fit. We look at loading style, appointment requirements, communication expectations, and freight type - and try to put you with accounts that match how you actually run.
When you run the same lane repeatedly, fuel stops, rest areas, and timing become second nature. We help you dial in the route on the first few runs so efficiency compounds over time.
Every dedicated shipper cancels occasionally - volume slowdowns, plant maintenance, weather. We keep spot freight ready so you're not sitting idle when your regular lane goes quiet.

Dedicated Lane Stories
Same shippers, same routes, same pay — week after week.
“I've been with TruckLeap for 8 months. They actually listen when I say I need to be home for my daughter's games. Most dispatchers say 'yeah, sure' and then send you 1,000 miles the wrong way. These guys actually plan my route back to Iowa every Thursday.”
