Challenges
- Alliance Airport/Texas Motor Speedway corridor (I-35W North) generates extremely heavy truck traffic.
- Military convoy movements near NAS JRB require route planning.
- I-30/I-35W interchange construction creates bottlenecks.
- BNSF rail crossings cause delays on surface streets near the Stockyards.
Opportunities
- Cross-border NAFTA freight through Laredo and El Paso is enormous
- Texas is the highest freight-generating state in the US
- Year-round operations with minimal weather disruptions
- Oil and gas industry creates premium-rate flatbed and hotshot demand
Seasonal Freight Patterns
