Who we are

Built to Move
What Others Won't

McCabe Trucking Logistics started in 1986 with a simple premise: shippers deserve a carrier that handles the hard part – permits, escorts, route planning, and execution.

We’re a Pennsylvania-based asset carrier and licensed freight broker. That means we own and operate 30+ trucks for our direct lanes, and tap brokerage capacity for everything else. One relationship. National coverage.

We don’t win on price. We win on execution.

Our history

Three Decades.
One Mission.

Founded
1986

McCabe Trucking Opens in Leetsdale, PA

Founded to serve the industrial and construction freight needs of western Pennsylvania. Started with a small fleet and a direct-to-shipper model – no middlemen, full accountability.

Expansion
Late 1990s

Fleet Growth & Interstate Coverage

Expanded operations beyond Pennsylvania as regional manufacturing and energy clients needed freight moved across state lines. Built out permit expertise as oversized loads became a specialty.

Capabilities
2000s

Brokerage Authority & Specialized Equipment

Added freight broker licensing to extend coverage beyond direct lanes without sacrificing single-point accountability. Invested in lowboy, RGN, and multi-axle trailer capacity for oversized and heavy haul freight.

Scale
2020s

Nationwide Operations and Warehousing

Grew to 50-state coverage. Added warehousing capabilities at the Leetsdale and Claysburg locations to support project freight staging and coordinated delivery windows for large industrial clients.

Today
Now

30+ trucks. Thousands of loads. One standard.

30+ asset-based trucks, two Pennsylvania facilities, and a team that has executed thousands of oversized and heavy haul moves across the U.S. The mission hasn't changed since day one.

How we operate

The McCabe
Operating Model

Permits Before Dispatch

We don't dispatch until permits are confirmed and routes are cleared. Every state crossing is accounted for before your driver leaves the yard.

One Contact. Full Accountability.

Whether we're the asset carrier or the broker on your load, you deal with one person from quote to delivery confirmation. The handoffs happen behind the scenes.

Asset Carrier + Broker in One

Our 30+ owned trucks cover direct lanes. Our brokerage authority covers everything else. You get full national capacity through one relationship.

Route Planning Before Driver Assignment

Bridge capacities, weight limits, height restrictions, and curfew windows are verified before a driver is assigned – not after.

Real-Time Visibility

24/7 dispatch and proactive status updates from pickup to delivery. You're never left wondering where your load is or who to call.

30-Minute Rate Response

Most loads get a rate and a plan within 30 minutes of inquiry. Complex multi-permit or project freight within 24 hours.

What sets us apart

Why Shippers
Come Back

  • We handle freight most carriers won't

    Oversized, over-dimensional, multi-permit, and project freight is our specialty – not our exception.

  • Local knowledge at national scale

    50-state reach backed by state-specific permit expertise, enforcement patterns, and road condition awareness built over three decades.

  • Speed without shortcuts

    Rate in 30 minutes. Most loads scheduled within 24-48 hours. Every permit pulled, every route cleared – before the truck moves.

  • No permit-related delays on your load

    Permit compliance is handled before dispatch – every time. We don't let administrative gaps become your operational problem.

  • Decades of relationship-based freight

    Many of our clients have shipped with McCabe for 10, 15, even 20+ years. That retention is earned by execution, not by sales pitches.

We don't win on price.
We win on execution.
Every time, before
the truck rolls.

How we think

Three Things We
Never Compromise On

After 30 years of moving difficult freight, we've learned that most logistics failures come from the same three places. So we built our operating model around eliminating them.

Preparation

Permits, routes, and escorts confirmed before dispatch – not on the fly. Problems prevented, not reacted to.

Accountability

One contact. Full ownership. Whether we're the carrier or the broker, the responsibility doesn't move.

Execution

Loads scheduled within 24-48 hours. Rates back in 30 minutes. Delivery confirmed. No exceptions.
