What kind of freight am I handling most days?
Mainly steel, lumber, rebar, and construction materials going into active job sites.

📊 Local Market Insights
Most of this freight runs tight around the I-35 and I-20 corridors, feeding steel yards in Dallas into active construction zones stretching toward Fort Worth and the outer suburbs. You’ll see a lot of repeat loops between material yards and job sites, especially when commercial builds pick up. Traffic and staging delays around job sites shape the rhythm more than the miles themselves. Once you’re on these lanes for a week or two, the pattern starts to feel familiar pretty fast.
