Double Diamond Transport: Request Freight Service or Apply to Drive

Finding a carrier or applying for a driving position starts with knowing where to go and what information to share. For shippers, that means describing the freight clearly and confirming transportation arrangements before pickup. For drivers, it means submitting an application and asking questions about the opportunity.

Double Diamond Transport is a full truckload and dry van freight carrier based in San Antonio, Texas, serving the United States. Founded in 2014, the company has a fleet of 75+ trucks and 300+ trailers.

Whether you need to move freight or want to apply to drive, here is how to prepare for the next step.

Start With the Right Page

Double Diamond Transport provides separate starting points for shippers and drivers:

  • Shippers: Request a freight quote through the website’s Contact page.
  • Drivers: Submit an application through the Drive With Us page.

Using the appropriate page helps you begin with the right purpose. A freight inquiry should focus on the shipment and its requirements. A driver application should focus on your qualifications, experience, and work history.

Before submitting either, check your phone number and email address for accuracy so you can be reached about your request.

Prepare the Details for a Freight Quote

A useful quote request gives the carrier enough information to assess the shipment. Rather than sending only an origin and destination, include the details that could affect equipment suitability, scheduling, and pricing.

Have the following information ready:

  • Route: Pickup and delivery locations, including ZIP codes.
  • Timing: Requested pickup date, delivery deadline, and any appointment requirements.
  • Freight: Commodity, packaging, pallet or piece count, dimensions, and total weight.
  • Facility requirements: Dock access, loading and unloading methods, and operating hours.
  • Special conditions: Any handling instructions or restrictions that could affect transportation.

Double Diamond Transport offers full truckload and dry van service. If you are unsure whether your shipment fits those services, describe the freight and ask before making arrangements. Do not assume that temperature control, specialized equipment, or other services are available.

If some details are still estimates, identify them as estimates. Updated weights, dates, or facility requirements may change the proposed transportation plan.

Request a Quote Through the Contact Page

Once your shipment information is organized, visit the Contact page to request a quote. Present the key details clearly and explain whether you need transportation for a single shipment or are discussing recurring freight.

For recurring shipments, describe the expected lanes and frequency without treating future volume as guaranteed. For an urgent shipment, state the actual pickup and delivery requirements rather than simply marking it “urgent.”

When reviewing a quote, clarify what it covers. Useful questions include:

  • What shipment details and dates is the quote based on?
  • Are there additional charges that could apply under certain conditions?
  • What must happen next to confirm the shipment?
  • What changes would require an updated quote?

A quote request is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking. Avoid assuming that equipment or pickup timing has been secured until those details are explicitly confirmed.

Move From a Quote to a Confirmed Load

After discussing the quote, ask how to proceed with booking the load. Follow the instructions provided and confirm the final shipment details in writing.

Before pickup, make sure both sides have the same understanding of:

  • Pickup and delivery addresses, dates, and appointment details.
  • Freight description, quantity, weight, and packaging.
  • Agreed pricing and any applicable conditions.
  • Shipping documents and facility contact information.
  • The contact to notify if shipment details change.

This is also the time to resolve differences between the original inquiry and the shipment that will actually be ready. A changed delivery address or additional freight should be communicated before the truck arrives.

Internally, give your shipping team the confirmed instructions. Have the freight and required paperwork ready, and ensure someone at the facility can answer pickup-related questions.

Apply to Drive Through Drive With Us

Drivers interested in Double Diamond Transport should use the Drive With Us page to apply. Review the information provided there and follow the application instructions carefully.

Before starting, gather information you may need, such as your current contact details, commercial driving credentials, employment history, and relevant driving experience. Provide accurate dates and complete answers wherever requested.

An application begins the hiring conversation; it does not guarantee an offer or establish employment terms. Use any follow-up discussion to understand the position and confirm whether it matches your needs.

Topics worth discussing include:

  • Current openings and qualification requirements.
  • Expected routes, schedules, and home-time arrangements.
  • Compensation structure and available benefits.
  • Equipment, orientation, and hiring steps.

Do not assume those details from general trucking industry practices. Ask for the terms that apply to the specific opportunity being discussed.

Keep the Next Step Clear

For both shippers and drivers, good preparation reduces uncertainty. Share accurate information, identify unanswered questions, and confirm what happens next. Keep copies of important communications so shipment arrangements or application discussions are easy to reference.
