The South Central dry van market is anchored by Texas, the nation's largest freight-generating state. Dallas-Fort Worth's massive distribution infrastructure, Houston's port and petrochemical complex, and cross-border freight through Laredo create a freight-rich environment. The I-35 corridor from Laredo to Dallas is one of the highest-volume lanes in the country. Year-round operating conditions and growing population fuel consistent demand.
Lanes are based on the South Central region where Oklahoma is located. Actual lane availability varies by season and market conditions.
Oklahoma's major shippers including Tinker AFB and American Airlines (Tulsa) generate consistent intermodal freight. The state's moderate freight volume and 8/10 owner-operator friendliness score make it a strong market for intermodal carriers.
