Why CDL driveaway works differently in Texas
Texas is the largest freight state in the U.S. by tonnage. Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, El Paso, and Laredo each anchor distinct freight ecosystems, and Laredo is the busiest U.S.-Mexico border crossing.
Port of Houston, cross-border trade (Laredo, El Paso, Pharr), DFW distribution, oil and gas (Permian Basin, Eagle Ford), and Texas Triangle manufacturing drive Texas freight.
- Port of Houston & petrochemical
- Cross-border trade (Laredo, El Paso, Pharr)
- DFW distribution
- Oil & gas (Permian, Eagle Ford)
- Semiconductor (Austin), aerospace
Hurricane season (June-November) affects Gulf coast (Houston, Corpus Christi, Beaumont); summer heat 100°F+ statewide; occasional winter ice in Panhandle and North Texas.
TxDOT issues oversize/overweight permits (TxPROS system); superload approvals require route surveys and possible bridge analyses; permits vary by region.
I-10 (El Paso-San Antonio-Houston-Beaumont), I-35 (Laredo-San Antonio-Austin-Dallas-Oklahoma), I-45 (Dallas-Houston), and I-20 (west Texas-Dallas-Louisiana) are the primary lanes.
Common lanes include Port of Houston drayage, Laredo cross-border, DFW distribution, Permian Basin (Midland/Odessa) oilfield rotations, and San Antonio-Austin corridor.
