Texas only Carrier

I'm OTR dry van out of TX , I flirted with the idea of running Tx only freight. Only problem is the more docks you bump the more time spent sitting. Hard to make alot of money short hauling to Dallas, Houston and Sanantonio. Round trips are key but sometimes difficult to line up .

 

Wonder what the crash rate is for Texas drivers

 

Can you elaborate more on this?

 

In TX, to get your commercial plates you need to find a Regional Service Center. Click the link below, then look for and click “Find your Regional Service Center.”

TXDMV.GOV - Dallas Regional Service Center

I paid about $1900 in 2019. About the ELD, I think the insurance agent is wrong. Perhaps the local drivers under a 100-mile radius are exempt from ELD and maybe even the 30-min break.

 

Before you get a Texas only, make sure you have freight that's Inrastate.

Pulling a container from Laredo to Dallas is very likely Interstate as the shipment crossed state lines. Remember it's the shipment that defines if the load is Intrastate or Interstate, not the driver.

 

It can’t be true. An intra-state motor carrier should be legally allowed to pick up a load from anywhere within the state, regardless of where the load originated. Now if you are referring to the company’s trailers going to Mexico, well, I do not know if that’s considered inter-state.
