Work With Double Diamond Transport: Quotes, Loads, and Driving

Finding a freight carrier or applying for a driving position starts with the same thing: clear information. Shippers need to explain what must move and when. Drivers need to present their experience and ask 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 have freight to move or want to apply to drive, here is how to take the next step—and what to clarify along the way.

For Shippers: Start With a Freight Quote Request

Shippers can request a quote through the Contact page on the Double Diamond Transport website. Before reaching out, gather the information a carrier needs to evaluate the shipment. A specific request gives both sides a better starting point than a general question about pricing.

Useful details to have ready include:

  • Pickup and delivery locations, including ZIP codes.
  • Requested pickup and delivery dates or appointment windows.
  • Commodity description, packaging, and total shipment weight.
  • Pallet count or other dimensions relevant to trailer space.
  • Facility restrictions and special handling requirements.

Explain whether your dates are firm or flexible. If a shipment has an unusual requirement, raise it early rather than assuming standard dry van equipment or service will accommodate it.

Double Diamond Transport’s stated focus is full truckload and dry van freight. For freight with needs outside that scope, ask about suitability before making plans.

Understand the Difference Between a Quote and a Booking

A quote request begins a conversation; it should not be treated as a confirmed load booking. Before committing to a shipment, ask the carrier to confirm availability, the agreed rate, the shipment requirements, and the next steps needed to finalize arrangements.

Review the details behind any quoted price. Make sure the locations, timing, equipment needs, and freight description match what you actually intend to ship. If anything changes after you request the quote, communicate the update before proceeding.

Questions worth asking include:

  • What shipment details does the quoted rate cover?
  • Are there potential additional charges or conditions to review?
  • What paperwork is needed before the load can be confirmed?
  • Who will confirm that the shipment is booked?

These are practical questions for arranging freight, not a description of a specific Double Diamond Transport booking policy. Confirm the company’s current requirements directly through the Contact page.

Prepare to Book and Coordinate the Load

Once the shipment details and commercial terms are agreed upon, ask what remains necessary to secure the booking. Keep a written record of the agreed instructions and request confirmation before treating pickup as scheduled.

Have accurate facility contacts available for both ends of the trip. Explain whether appointments are required, who arranges them, and whether drivers need reference numbers or specific arrival instructions.

Before pickup, review three essentials:

  • Freight readiness: Confirm when the shipment will be ready to load.
  • Documentation: Verify that shipment paperwork matches the agreed load details.
  • Communication: Establish whom to contact about changes, delays, or questions.

For recurring freight, describe the expected lanes and frequency when you reach out. Ask whether the carrier can accommodate the proposed schedule rather than assuming that one confirmed shipment establishes ongoing capacity.

For Drivers: Apply Through Drive With Us

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

Before starting, organize your driving and employment information so you can provide accurate answers. Depending on what the application requests, it may be useful to have these details available:

  • Driver’s license and CDL information.
  • Recent employment history and contact details.
  • Relevant driving experience and qualifications.
  • Current contact information and potential availability.

Provide only the information requested through the application process. Avoid sending sensitive personal documents through an unrelated inquiry channel. If a requirement is unclear, ask for clarification rather than guessing.

Ask Questions Before Making a Driving Decision

An application is also an opportunity to learn whether a driving role fits your experience and priorities. Ask about current openings, eligibility requirements, compensation structure, routes, scheduling, home time, equipment, and any orientation requirements.

Do not assume that fleet size or service coverage determines the terms of an individual position. Confirm the details of the specific opportunity before making employment decisions.
