Core lane · I-10 → I-20
Los Angeles to Dallas trucking: 53′ dry van truckload.

The lane
Los Angeles ↔ Dallas–Fort Worth.
The lane. Southern California to the Metroplex is one of the busiest truckload corridors in the country for a reason: the LA/Long Beach port complex and Inland Empire warehousing on one end, and the enormous DFW distribution footprint on the other. We run it as a core lane in both directions. Outbound loads go to Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and the I-20/I-35 warehouse belt, and reloads come back toward SoCal so the truck rarely crosses Texas empty.
The math. About 1,435 miles via I-10 through Phoenix and El Paso, picking up I-20 at the Pecos split. A solo driver under legal hours covers that in two to three days depending on pickup time and dock appointments. That’s the number we quote, because it’s the number one driver can actually deliver. Freight that leaves Long Beach in the morning is typically unloading in DFW by day three at the latest.
What tends to move here. Palletized consumer goods and e-commerce stock heading to DFW distribution, packaging and parts, beverages, and our home-field specialty: freight that starts at the Port of Long Beach and rides the same truck all the way to a Texas dock door with zero cross-docks in between.

Straight answers
LA ↔ Dallas: the practical questions.
Transit, coverage, and fit for this specific lane.
Two to three days with a solo driver under legal hours-of-service, roughly 600 highway miles a day over about 1,435 miles. Same-day pickup is possible when the truck is empty, and the clock starts when the doors close.
Yes. DFW means the Metroplex, not one zip code: Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and the warehouse corridors along I-20, I-30 and I-35 all quote as the same lane.
Gladly. Reloads out of North Texas back to Southern California keep this lane efficient, which keeps quotes sharp in both directions. Brokers with TX to CA freight are always welcome.
Yes, that’s our signature move. TWIC-carded, RFID-registered port pickup rolls straight onto I-10 with no equipment swap and no second carrier. Ship side in San Pedro Bay to a Dallas dock in the same trailer.
