Texas freight seasons

Produce through South Texas

Mexican produce crossing at the border keeps reefer demand strong out of the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo much of the year.

Oilfield cycles

Permian Basin activity follows oil prices. When drilling is busy, hotshot and flatbed rates in West Texas climb fast.

Summer heat

Texas summers raise reefer demand and are hard on equipment. We plan routes and appointments to cut idle time in the heat.

How we keep Texas trucks profitable

Texas is a strong reload state

With freight both coming in and going out, Texas usually offers good reloads. We use that to keep your deadhead low.

Know the border freight rules

Laredo freight often involves cross-dock and transload work. We check the load details so you know what you are hauling before you commit.

Hotshot needs the right lanes

Hotshot rates are best on oilfield and construction freight. We focus hotshot carriers on West Texas and the Houston industrial belt.

Dispatch pricing: from 4% of the gross load

Dispatch fees are 4% of the gross load for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only, 6% for box trucks and hotshots, and 10% for sprinter vans, paid only after the broker pays, with no setup fee or contract. Fleet rates are negotiable. See full pricing
