High-frequency lanes
Origin–destination pairs running multiple times a week where consistent execution matters more than spot pricing.
↳ Dedicated Capacity
Dedicated capacity
for the lanes that matter.
Repeat-lane programs built for predictable volume — locked equipment, locked pricing, and a team that knows your shipments before you send them.
↳What is dedicated capacity
Spot freight, taken off spot pricing.
Dedicated capacity is what you build when a lane stops being one-off and starts being part of how your business runs. Instead of bidding spot every week, the same lane is committed to a specific carrier mix at a locked rate. The carrier knows the appointment requirements, the dock teams know the driver, and the freight runs as a program rather than a series of independent transactions.
RODE Logistics builds dedicated programs around lanes where volume, timing, and execution requirements justify it. Programs can cover a single lane, a network of recurring lanes, or a mix that flexes with seasonality. The point is predictability — for pricing, for capacity, and for the way your shipments are run.
↳When dedicated capacity is the right call
Use cases.
Tight appointment windows
Receivers with strict OTIF expectations, where the wrong carrier turns into a real cost.
Seasonal predictability
Programs that flex up and down with seasonality but maintain consistent execution standards through every peak.
DC replenishment
Inbound replenishment into distribution centers where rhythm and reliability outweigh squeezing the rate.
Plant inbound
Production-line inbound where missed deliveries cost more than any rate difference.
Locked retail programs
Retail volume where a known carrier mix is part of meeting vendor scorecard expectations.

↳FAQ
Dedicated capacity, answered.
What information do I need to discuss a dedicated program?
Lane or lanes under consideration, weekly or monthly volume, equipment type, appointment requirements, and any vendor scorecard or OTIF expectations from receivers.
What types of freight does RODE support on dedicated?
Dry van, reefer, and flatbed are all in scope. Most retail, food and beverage, consumer goods, manufacturing, and building products programs are in our regular working scope.
Can dedicated programs flex up or down?
Yes. Programs are designed with the seasonality of the lanes in mind. Capacity can scale up for peaks and adjust down for slower periods within the structure agreed at the start.
Does RODE provide tracking and reporting on dedicated programs?
Yes. Tracking and milestone updates run on every load, and program-level reporting can be tailored to the metrics your team cares about.
Can dedicated capacity be combined with spot truckload?
Yes. Many shippers run dedicated on their highest-volume lanes and use spot truckload for everything else through the same team.
How does RODE communicate on dedicated programs?
A named coordinator owns the program. Updates run by lane and by load, and program-level reviews are scheduled on a cadence that fits your team.
