Why Shippers Trust McCabe

01

We operate like part of your freight team

Your contact at McCabe knows your lanes, scheduling requirements, freight profile, and shipping expectations, not just the load in front of them.
02

Asset fleet and brokered capacity coordinated together

We use company trucks where they make sense and brokered coverage where it improves execution, with the same operational accountability either way.
03

Warehouse staging available when timing shifts

Freight can be staged at our Pennsylvania facilities when production timing, pickup windows, or outbound schedules don’t align cleanly.
04

Real communication when something changes

You hear from a person who can actually solve the problem, not an automated tracking update after the issue already hit the shipment.
05

Experience built through daily freight execution

Say About McCabe

Years operating

24-48h

Avg. load scheduled

"We run six to eight truckloads a week out of our Altoona plant. McCabe covers most of them direct and brokers the rest. One call handles all of it – that's the value."

Logistics Manager

Industrial Manufacturer, PA

"We had a carrier drop a load the night before pickup. Called McCabe at 7pm – they had it covered by 9am the next morning. That kind of response is why we stay."

Supply Chain Director

Consumer Goods Company

"What we needed wasn't just a carrier – we needed someone who understood our production schedule. McCabe figured that out within the first month and built their dispatch around it."

Asset or brokered, execution path confirmed before booking

We identify whether company trucks or the carrier network cover your lane, confirm it, and tell you before anything is booked. No surprises after the fact.

Warehouse staging when production timing doesn't align with dispatch

300,000 sq ft in Claysburg and 20,000 sq ft in Sewickley. Freight is staged and dispatched when your outbound window opens, not when it's convenient for us.

Rate back within 30 minutes on most standard FTL requests

Origin, destination, commodity, weight, and pickup window is all we need. Rates and execution details confirmed fast so your freight moves on schedule.

Direct contact from booking through delivery, no handoffs

The same person manages your load from rate confirmation to delivery. When something changes in transit, you hear it from someone who can act on it.

When Freight Execution Breaks Down

When truckload freight breaks down, the impact reaches production schedules, customer commitments, inventory flow, and outbound operations fast.

Late or missed pickups disrupt production schedules

Outbound freight that doesn't move on time creates inventory buildup, dock congestion, and downstream production delays.

No communication means your team manages the carrier

Chasing updates, escalating issues, and fielding customer calls pulls your operations team into freight execution problems.

Inconsistent carriers create inconsistent execution

A different carrier every shipment means no familiarity with your dock schedule, freight requirements, or delivery expectations.

Questions
Shippers Ask First

How fast can you turn around an FTL quote?

Most standard FTL quotes are turned around within 30 minutes. We need the origin, destination, commodity, weight, pickup window, and any special requirements. Specialized freight such as reefer, flatbed, hazmat, or oversized loads may take slightly longer to confirm equipment and scheduling.

Do you use your own trucks or broker freight?

Both. McCabe runs an asset-based fleet across core Pennsylvania and regional lanes, and coordinates vetted brokered capacity for national coverage and overflow demand. Your point of contact and operational accountability stay the same either way.

What lanes do you cover with your own fleet?

Our direct fleet primarily supports Pennsylvania and surrounding regional lanes, including recurring freight moving through manufacturing and distribution corridors. National freight outside our direct coverage is coordinated through brokered carrier partners under McCabe management.

Can you support recurring or dedicated FTL lanes?

Yes. We regularly support recurring truckload freight for manufacturers, distributors, and industrial shippers moving scheduled outbound freight weekly or daily. Dedicated coordination helps reduce scheduling issues, communication gaps, and inconsistent service between loads.

Do you offer warehousing alongside truckload freight?

Yes. McCabe operates warehouse space in Claysburg and Sewickley, Pennsylvania. Freight can be staged, consolidated, stored short-term, or dispatched around production timing and outbound scheduling requirements.

What happens if a load issue comes up during transit?

Our operations team manages the issue directly and communicates updates in real time. Delays, scheduling conflicts, and delivery issues are handled by McCabe instead of being pushed back onto your operations team to resolve.

Do you handle reefer and flatbed truckloads?

Yes. McCabe coordinates dry van, reefer, flatbed, and open deck FTL freight depending on the commodity and lane requirements. We also coordinate permit handling and specialized equipment when required.

Can you coordinate scheduled pickups from manufacturing facilities?

Yes. Many of our customers operate on recurring production schedules with strict outbound timing requirements. We coordinate pickup windows around dock operations, production flow, and delivery schedules to help freight move consistently and on time.

What Is Full Truckload
Freight (FTL)?

Full truckload shipping (FTL) means your freight takes the entire trailer and moves directly from pickup to delivery without stops for other freight. It's the standard mode for manufacturers, distributors, and industrial shippers with enough volume to fill a trailer, and when transit time and load security matter.

Unlike LTL (less-than-truckload), FTL doesn't pass through freight terminals or consolidation points. Your load goes on, and it stays on until delivery. That means less handling, lower damage risk, and often faster transit on regional and national lanes.

McCabe Trucking has moved full truckload freight for manufacturers and industrial shippers since 1986. We cover regional Pennsylvania corridors with our own asset fleet and run national lanes through brokered capacity, all on one operational contact.
