When delivery reliability, customer service, and cost control matter, businesses turn to dedicated transportation solutions—and few providers do it better than Salem Carriers. With decades of experience, company-owned equipment, in-house maintenance, and 24/7 operational support, Salem delivers more than just freight—we deliver peace of mind.

What Is Dedicated Transportation?

Dedicated transportation means a fleet of trucks, drivers, and resources committed exclusively to your business. Unlike common carriers or spot freight solutions, dedicated service is built around your schedule, your freight profile, and your customer expectations.

It’s like having a private fleet—without the management headaches.

The Salem Carriers Advantage

At Salem Carriers, we take dedicated service to the next level by offering a fully integrated, company-owned approach. Here’s how we do it:

✅ Our Trucks. Our Drivers. Our Standard.

We don’t outsource. We provide the tractors, trailers, box trucks, and switchers—maintained and operated to our rigorous standards. Every driver wears the Salem name and delivers service with professionalism and pride.

🔧 In-House Maintenance at Salem Shops

All equipment is maintained by certified technicians at Salem-owned service shops, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum reliability. Preventive maintenance is scheduled around your operations—not the other way around.

🚚 Substitutes and Extra Equipment—Ready When You Need Them

Unexpected volume spike? Breakdown on the road? No problem. We maintain a substitute/rental fleet that’s always available to step in, ensuring your freight never stops moving.

🛠️ 24/7/365 Breakdown & Over-the-Road Support

Salem’s breakdown support isn’t automated—it’s staffed. Around the clock. Real people, real help, in real time.

⛽ On-Site Fueling + 10-Point Inspections

Most of our shops offer fueling services, and every time a unit is fueled, we perform a 10-point inspection to catch potential issues before they become problems. It’s a smarter, safer approach to fleet readiness.

📈 Consistent Performance, Predictable Costs

With Salem Carriers, customers gain transportation cost predictability while improving on-time performance, customer satisfaction, and operational focus. We become an extension of your supply chain—without the burden of fleet management.

Who Benefits from Dedicated?

• Manufacturers with time-sensitive distribution
• Retailers who demand consistent service and branding
• Food and beverage distributors requiring special handling or schedules
• Packaging and paper companies managing regional routes

In short, any business that wants dependable, branded, and professionally-managed transportation—without owning the fleet—can benefit from a Salem Carriers dedicated solution.
