General Freight Transport Across All 50 States

What Counts as General Freight

General freight is the everyday cargo that keeps American businesses running — retail merchandise, electronics, packaged food, textiles, industrial parts, and general dry goods. If it fits in a 26ft enclosed box truck and doesn't require special handling like refrigeration or hazmat certification, it's general freight.

At D&B Buckeye Logistics, general freight is our core service. We move it every day between Columbus, OH and destinations across the entire continental US.

What We Carry (and What We Don't)

We accept virtually any commercial cargo up to 26,000 lbs total gross weight per truck. When multiple shipments share a load, the combined weight stays within that limit. Our trucks are fully enclosed, so freight stays protected from rain, snow, sun, and road debris throughout the trip.

We do not haul chemicals, hazardous materials, live animals, or refrigerated freight. If you're unsure whether your cargo qualifies, just ask when you request a quote — we'll confirm on the spot.

How Our Trucks Are Equipped

Every truck in our fleet comes ready for commercial handling:

• Liftgate: for docks and destinations without loading equipment
• Pallet jacks: for palletized freight of any size
• Load securement: straps, blankets, and tarps for delicate items
• 26ft x 13ft enclosed cargo area: full protection from weather

If your freight has specific handling needs — tarping fragile items, keeping cargo off wood surfaces, avoiding stacking — just tell us when you book. Our drivers follow instructions.

Pricing That Fits Your Shipment

We price general freight in the way that makes sense for your load. Standard rates run from $2.50 to $3.00 per mile, adjusted based on distance, urgency, and cargo type. For businesses shipping regularly, we also offer per-route, per-load, and full contract pricing.

Every quote takes about 2 hours from the time you send us the details. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Delivery Times You Can Plan Around

From our Columbus base we reach most East Coast destinations same-day or overnight, and West Coast in 1.5 to 3 days depending on distance. All trips respect DOT hours-of-service rules — drivers stop at 11 hours, which protects both your freight and everyone on the road.
