What moves here
A triangle of cities and a border.
Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio form a triangle joined by I-35, I-45 and I-10. Most freight inside Texas moves along its sides, a day's drive or less from one corner to another.
The state is also the main road gateway between the United States and Mexico. Laredo, at the southern end of I-35, handles more truck crossings than any other point on the border. Pharr and El Paso are the state's other major crossings.

Good to know
What shippers here plan around.
The border sets the clock
Crossing times at Laredo change by day and by hour. A plan that leaves the border out of the schedule is not a plan.Produce season in the Valley
Winter and spring imports through Pharr pull refrigerated trucks south, and capacity tightens across South Texas.Weather at both ends
Hurricanes on the coast from June to November, and ice across North Texas a few days each winter. Either can stop a corridor.Oversize and overweight
Project and energy freight often needs state permits and a planned route. Send dimensions and weight early.
