Dedicated Fleet Operations

Your lanes, dedicated owner-operators and our dispatch desk — scheduled and managed as an extension of your operation, without buying trucks or hiring drivers yourself.

In one sentence

Space Shipping's dedicated fleet service assigns dedicated owner-operators, contracted to Space Shipping, to a customer's recurring lanes and schedules — daily store runs, DC shuttles or route deliveries across New Jersey, New York City, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania — managed by Space Shipping dispatch as an extension of the customer's own operation.

A fleet without owning a fleet

Running trucks means buying and maintaining equipment, hiring and retaining CDL drivers, managing hours-of-service, insurance and DOT compliance, and covering the days a driver calls out. A dedicated program from Space Shipping gives you the control of your own trucks — fixed schedules, familiar drivers who know your locations, equipment sized to your stops — with owner-operators contracted to us and our dispatch desk managing the schedule and the paperwork.

Founded in 1992 on the idea that service should be shaped around the client, not the carrier, we build each dedicated program around your routing, your delivery windows and your peak seasons.

What a dedicated program includes

  • Assigned equipment — straight trucks, pups, 48- or 53-foot trailers, low-height trailers — matched to your lanes.
  • Assigned owner-operators who learn your stores, docks and receivers.
  • Scheduled routes managed by our dispatch desk with surge capacity from the rest of the fleet.
  • Staging and cross-dock at our 41,000 sq ft Jamesburg facility when it helps the schedule.
  • Reporting through GPS tracking, online POD and EDI 210/214.

Programs we run

  • Daily store-delivery routes for apparel and retail brands across NJ, NYC and Long Island
  • DC-to-DC shuttles along the NJ Turnpike and I-95 corridors
  • Fixed-schedule deliveries into Manhattan on low-height and pup equipment
  • Seasonal dedicated capacity for peak and holiday programs

FAQ

Dedicated Fleet: Questions We Get

Who drives a dedicated route?+
Independent owner-operators who contract with Space Shipping and are assigned to your lanes. They take dispatch from our Jamesburg desk and learn your stops, docks and receivers.
What happens if the assigned driver is out?+
Dispatch covers the route with another of our contracted owner-operators, so your schedule holds.
Can a dedicated program flex for peak season?+
Yes. Dedicated capacity can scale up for floor sets, holiday and other peak periods and scale back afterward.
Do you provide the equipment or can we supply trailers?+
Our owner-operators bring equipment sized to your stops; programs using customer trailers can be discussed with dispatch.
