Dallas Freight Market

Flatbed Capacity In
Dallas, TX

Dallas–Fort Worth sits where I-35, I-20 and I-45 meet, which makes it the natural relay point between the West Coast, the Southeast and the Mexican border. It is one of the few large markets where both inbound and outbound freight are usually available, so trucks are not stuck deadheading out.

AllianceTexas in north Fort Worth is a purpose-built inland port with its own airport and rail terminal, and South Dallas has absorbed most of the newer big-box distribution. Cross-border freight from Laredo funnels north through here before dispersing nationally.

Standard flatbed and step deck for building materials, steel, machinery and anything that loads from the side or the top. Tarps, chains, coil racks and securement handled to DOT standard.

What You Actually Get

Flatbed Handled
Properly

Securement To Standard

Chains, straps and working load limits matched to the commodity. Nothing leaves the shipper improperly secured.

Tarping Included

Drivers carry and use tarps. Weather-sensitive freight is covered before it leaves, not after the first rain.

Permits Where Needed

Over-dimension freight gets the permits and routing it needs rather than a driver improvising at a scale house.

Loading Coordination

We confirm crane or forklift availability at both ends before dispatch, so the truck is not sitting waiting to be loaded.
