Picking Up 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.
Delivering In
Chicago, IL
Chicago is the largest inland freight hub in North America and the only place where all six Class I railroads interchange. That makes it a market where a truck can sit for days waiting on a rail ramp, and where knowing which yard to avoid at which hour is worth more than raw capacity.
Everything moves through Chicago, which is exactly the problem — congestion is the defining cost. The CenterPoint intermodal park in Elwood and Joliet is effectively its own freight city, and a large share of national dry van volume touches it.

- 2I-44 Northeast to St. Louis
- 3I-55 North into Chicago
One of the busiest freight corridors in the country and one of the easiest to cover in both directions. The Oklahoma City interchange between I-44 and I-35 is the natural break point for a two-day run, which is why so much capacity stages there.

Equipment on this lane
Backhaul reality
Chicago's volume means northbound reloads are easy to find; getting out through the metro congestion is the harder half.
Season & weather
Winter ice across Oklahoma and north Texas closes I-35 occasionally and the region has limited equipment to clear it. Chicago snow affects the northern end separately.
