Contract Routes

Many of our clients have frequent and large shipping needs that require special attention. And it’s important that the trucks are in top condition and drivers making those deliveries not only have strong, specialized skill sets, but that they are familiar with your stores and/or products.You expect a high standard of professionalism, so Spader sets up recurring routes to service our contract clients with its most qualified drivers; and using our best late model trucks. If the route extends beyond the 300 mile radius from Clyde, Ohio that our trucks navigate, we then look to our trucking partners to contract on your behalf.Because our drivers are focused on only your account, your product, and your business, they learn your expectations and deliver based on your timelines and requirements.Partnering with Spader Freight ensures timely delivery by experienced drivers dedicated to serving you.
