Lane questions

Straight answers

Is Houston a separate lane from Dallas?

Same schedule, longer leg. The truck runs I-20 west and drops down I-45, so Houston capacity moves three to four times a week just as Dallas does.

How long is Carolinas to Houston?

About nine hundred and ninety miles and fourteen and a half hours of driving. Pickup to delivery is normally two to three days.

Can you handle oversize equipment out of Houston?

Flatbed and step deck as standard. Anything oversize goes on the RGN with permits and a route survey, and the conversation starts with weight and dimensions rather than with a price.

Do you serve Galveston, Baytown and Katy?

All on the same run, along with Pasadena and the Ship Channel industrial area.
