A breakdown isn’t bad luck. Usually it’s a missed step in a yard, three days earlier.

Every Gillson load starts with a documented pre-trip inspection - because the cheapest way to fix a roadside problem is to catch it before the truck ever leaves.

✓ Tires, brakes, lights, and fluids checked before every dispatch
✓ Documented inspection log on every run
✓ Telematics flag wear before it strands a load
✓ If it can’t be fixed in the yard, it doesn’t leave the yard

There are plenty of trucks. The harder thing to find is qualified people to drive them.

A few realities the industry keeps wrestling with:
• The shortage has been estimated in the tens of thousands of drivers
• The average driver age keeps climbing as fewer young people enter
• Turnover at large carriers has historically run high year after year
• Hundreds of thousands of new drivers are needed over the coming decade just to keep pace.

Carriers that treat drivers well keep them - and that stability is exactly what your freight depends on. We're built to retain, not just recruit.

The most dangerous thing on any highway is a driver pushing past their limit.

Gillson runs by the clock the federal rules set and we don't bend it to save a few hours:

✓ Hours of Service limits followed, never fudged
✓ ELDs that log real driving time automatically
✓ Schedules built with rest factored in from the start
✓ No pressure to run tired just to hit a number

A load that arrives a little later but completely safe beats one that never arrives at all. We plan for the first.

“Where’s my load?” shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Every Gillson shipment moves with live tracking, ETA monitoring, and proactive updates so the answer reaches you before you ask the question.
✓ Live GPS pin and ETA on every active load
✓ Automatic status updates at pickup, transit, and delivery
✓ Geofence alerts the moment your freight hits a key point
✓ ELD-backed timing: accurate, not estimated

The load you didn't see coming this morning still has to move today.

When a shipment falls through or volume spikes overnight, the carriers who can flex are the ones worth keeping:
- Urgent pickups when something falls apart upstream
- Standby capacity held for the lanes you run most
- A dispatcher who reworks the plan, not just reports the problem
- Quick re-routing when a delivery window suddenly shifts

A good carrier handles the loads you planned. A great one handles the ones you didn't. We're built for both.

Showing up the right day isn't enough when your dock runs on appointments.

Gillson plans every pickup and delivery around your schedule, not ours:
> Appointments confirmed and honored, not loosely estimated
> Arrival timed to your dock window, not late
> A heads-up before arrival so your team is ready

A truck that lands inside the window keeps your whole operation moving - That precision is part of the service.

With perishable and temperature-controlled freight, 'almost right' is the same as ruined.

Gillson's re**er service protects the cold chain from dock to dock:
- Pre-cooled trailers before loading begins
- Continuous temperature monitoring in transit
- Food grade handling
- Fast response if readings ever drift

Your product is only as good as the conditions it travels in. We treat every degree like it matters - because it does.

A load isn't truly done until the documentation is right.

Sloppy paperwork causes disputes, billing delays, and lost time. We don't do sloppy:
- Accurate Bills of Lading at every pickup
- Proof of Delivery captured and shared promptly
- Digital documents - easy to find, easy to forward
- Clean records that make audits and claims painless

When the paperwork is clean, you get paid faster and sleep easier. That's part of the service too.

An empty truck still burns fuel, time, and money, it just isn't earning anything.

Reducing those 'deadhead' miles is one of the quietest ways to keep your costs down:
- Smart load pairing so trucks run loaded both ways
- Backhaul planning that fills the return trip
- Lower cost per mile passed back into fair pricing
- Fewer wasted miles means a lighter carbon footprint, too

Efficiency isn't just good operations, it's good for your rate. We chase it on every lane.

Good drivers are the foundation. Smart technology makes them safer still.

Gillson invests in fleet safety tech that protects your freight and everyone on the road:
- Collision-mitigation and automatic-braking support
- Lane-departure and following-distance alerts
- Dash cams for accountability and faster incident clarity
- Telematics that flag maintenance before it becomes a problem
Fewer incidents mean fewer delays — and freight that arrives the way it should.
