Freight we arrange
We broker full truckload shipments on three trailer types. Each load is booked for your freight alone, from pickup to delivery.
Refrigerated
A temperature-controlled trailer for freight that has to stay cold, frozen or within a set range.
Refrigerated freight details
Flatbed
An open deck for freight loaded by crane, forklift or from the side, or too large for an enclosed trailer.
Flatbed freight detailsNot sure which trailer fits? Request a quote and choose “I'm not sure”. We'll recommend one.
How a shipment works with us
Three steps, and the same coordinator handles each one.
Share your shipment details
Send the lane, pickup date, trailer type, commodity and weight through the quote form or by phone. Include anything unusual, like appointments, temperatures or tarping.
Review options and get your quote
We confirm the equipment and timing with you, check carrier availability on your lane, and send a quote for the load.
We coordinate pickup to delivery
Once you approve, we book a vetted carrier, confirm appointments, send updates through transit, and close out the load at delivery.
Why shippers work with World Freight
What our approach changes for you on every load.
One person from quote to delivery
The coordinator who quotes your load is the one who books the carrier and sees it delivered. You don't re-explain the shipment to whoever answers the phone.
Updates before you have to ask
We send pickup, in-transit and delivery updates by phone, email or text, whichever you prefer. If something changes on the road, you hear it from us first.
Carriers checked before they haul
Before we tender a load, we verify the carrier's operating authority, insurance coverage and safety record with FMCSA.
A small team that can decide
We're an Atlanta-based brokerage, not a call center. When a rate, a schedule or a problem needs a decision, you're already talking to someone who can make it.
Coverage across the lower 48
We arrange truckload shipments between points in all 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., from our base in Atlanta.
Rates and carrier availability vary by lane, season and equipment. Tell us where your freight is moving and we'll confirm the options for that lane before you commit.
We don't currently arrange shipments to or from Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or Mexico.

Shipping questions
Straight answers about quotes, equipment, scheduling and delivery. More in our shipping resources.
What information do you need to quote a load?
Pickup and delivery locations (city, state and ZIP), the pickup date, the type of trailer, what the freight is, its total weight, and the pallet count or piece dimensions. Note any appointment times, temperature settings, tarping or unloading needs. Our freight quote checklist covers each item.
Do you own trucks?
No. We're a licensed freight broker (MC-1382283). We don't operate trucks or warehouses. We arrange your shipment with independent motor carriers that we check before tendering, and we manage the load until it's delivered.
Which trailer does my freight need?
Most palletized, boxed or packaged freight that needs protection from weather moves in a dry van. Freight that must stay within a temperature range needs a refrigerated trailer. Freight that's too tall, wide or heavy to load through a dock door, or that's loaded by crane or from the side, moves on a flatbed. If you're not sure, choose “I'm not sure” on the quote form and we'll recommend one.
Do you handle less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments?
We arrange truckload shipments: dry van, refrigerated and flatbed. We don't currently offer LTL service. Our guide to FTL vs. LTL explains how to tell which one your shipment needs.
How will I know where my shipment is?
Your coordinator sends updates at pickup, during transit and at delivery by phone, email or text. You can also ask for an update at any time on our shipment update form or by calling 678-472-0908.
How should I prepare freight for pickup?
Have it packaged, palletized where practical, labeled and ready at the scheduled time, with the bill of lading prepared. Tell us in advance about dock limits, appointment rules or anything unusual about loading. See preparing freight for pickup.
Can you work around pickup and delivery appointments?
Yes. Tell us the appointment windows and dock hours when you request a quote. We confirm them with the carrier before the load is booked and coordinate with your shipping and receiving contacts.
What paperwork will I get after delivery?
The carrier gets the bill of lading signed at delivery. This signed copy is the proof of delivery. Ask your coordinator and we'll send you a copy.
Ready to move a load?
Send your shipment details and we'll get back to you with options and a quote. Prefer to talk it through? Call us.
