When a dedicated lane out of Green Bay is worth it
Dedicated is not automatically cheaper than spot. It is a trade: you commit to volume, and in exchange you stop competing for trucks every week. Here is how that trade actually plays out.
What you gain
Price stability and a truck that shows up. In a tight market the spot rate on a lane can move sharply in a week; a committed rate does not. The value is less about the average cost and more about removing the worst weeks from your year.
What you give up
Flexibility, and the upside of a soft market. If rates fall you are still paying your committed number. Dedicated makes sense when your volume is genuinely predictable — if it is lumpy, you will end up paying for capacity you did not use.
When to ask
The usual threshold is a handful of loads a week on a repeatable lane, in the same equipment type. Below that, spot with a broker you trust normally serves you better. We will tell you which side of that line you are on before quoting.
