Freight Dynamics tractor on the road

Houston, TX to San Antonio, TX

The shortest of the major lanes out of Houston. Around 200 miles straight down I-10, comfortably same-day, and short enough that a single truck can often turn it and be back for a second load.

Transit

Same day

Transit assumes a solo driver under hours-of-service rules and is subject to your pickup and receiving appointment windows.

What we move on this lane

  • General freight and palletized goods
  • Construction and building materials
  • Oilfield and industrial equipment
  • Flatbed steel and pipe

Short-haul economics

Short lanes are where rate-per-mile is misleading. What matters is whether the truck can turn, and that depends on your loading and their receiving windows more than on the distance. Give us both and we will tell you honestly whether it turns.

Onward to the border

San Antonio is often a leg rather than a destination — freight continuing to Laredo and the border crossings. If that is your lane, tell us the final stop rather than the intermediate one and we will quote the whole move.

What does this lane cost?

We do not publish a rate here, because a truckload rate that is accurate this week is wrong next month — capacity and fuel move it constantly. Send us the weight, the commodity and your dates and you will have a real number within the hour during business hours.
