The Benefits of Using Dedicated Lanes in Your Trucking Business

As a carrier, you understand the importance of finding consistent work and optimizing your fleet for maximum efficiency. One solution to these challenges is signing up for dedicated lanes. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of dedicated lanes in general and how RXO’s Dedicated Lanes program specifically can help you optimize your fleet and increase earnings.

What are Dedicated Lanes?

Definition of dedicated lanes: Dedicated lanes are exclusive routes that carriers run on a regular basis, typically between the same two locations. Carriers can select their frequency, volume, and duration of the contract. These routes are not available on the spot market.

How they differ from spot market loads: Compared to spot market loads, which are one-time shipments available for bid by any carrier, dedicated lanes offer more consistency and stability. With dedicated lanes, carriers have a regular workload and can plan their schedules and resources accordingly.

Who can sign up: Carriers and Owner operators can sign up for dedicated lanes, regardless of fleet size.
