What Counts as General Freight?
General freight is commercial cargo that ships on standard equipment: palletized goods, construction materials, industrial products, business-to-business loads, warehouse-to-warehouse moves and supplier-to-customer deliveries. Dobie coordinates full truckload and specialized freight with the carrier matched to the load.

How Freight Booking Works
Tell Us About the Load
Commodity, weight, piece count and any handling requirements.
We Match the Equipment
Dry van, flatbed or step deck — matched to the freight and the facilities at both ends.
Pickup & Transit
The carrier loads on schedule and the shipment is tracked to delivery.
Delivery Confirmed
Proof of delivery documented and shared. Recurring lanes can be scheduled from the same contact.
Cost Factors
Freight pricing follows the load and the lane. What our team checks before quoting:
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Weight & dimensions | Equipment type and capacity used |
| Distance & lane | Line-haul cost and carrier availability |
| Trailer requirement | Dry van, flatbed or step deck |
| Loading & unloading | Dock, forklift or special handling needs |
| Timing | Standard vs expedited scheduling |
How Long Does It Take?
Most freight shipments are matched with a carrier within a few days of booking — often faster on busy lanes. Transit time depends on distance, route and equipment: regional moves often deliver in 1–3 days, while coast-to-coast shipments average 7–10 days. Your logistics specialist confirms a realistic pickup window when you book and keeps you updated through delivery.
Insurance & Safety
Every carrier in the Dobie network is vetted for active operating authority and insurance before a load is assigned. Your freight is covered by the carrier's cargo insurance from pickup to delivery, and our dispatch team verifies the certificate of insurance before every dispatch — not once a year.
Where We Coordinate It
Dobie coordinates general freight across all 50 states, with deep operating experience in Texas, the South Texas border region and cross-border routes into Mexico. Wherever the pickup and the delivery are, one team manages the entire move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer FTL?
Yes — full truckload is the core of our freight service: your cargo uses a dedicated truck, and your specialist prices the lane competitively. Partial and specialized freight are quoted case by case when they fit the lane.
What trailer will my freight ship on?
Dock-loaded palletized goods usually ride in a dry van; forklift-loaded materials and oversized pieces go flatbed or step deck. We match the equipment to the freight and the facilities at both ends.
How fast can you pick up?
Same-week pickup is standard, and expedited same-day options are available on most lanes.
Can you handle recurring shipments?
Yes. Many customers run weekly or monthly lanes through the same specialist, with scheduling handled ahead of time.
