Is Texas a good state for freight? Seems like Texas has a lot of freight moving than other states but I have noticed that the rates are not as good.

What type of trailer? I always see a decent amount of freight headed to Texas off the boards never looked at freight coming back outGod prefers Diesels Thanks this. -

Midland/Odessa region usually has a few shorties to out by Dallas. Then can usually find something halfway decent outbound from there. In fact I see most of Texas that way: if you can't find something decent out, just find something to Dallas, then get out from there.

Cheap to go in and cheap to go out with rare spikes here and there. Too many people like living and driving in that state

It is doable but it isn’t great. It is huge and as has been said there are a lot of trucks here. Some people like to haul less miles for less money sometimes it seems as some really low paying loads gets snatched up pretty quick. If you are patient you can do okay but not like you can in some other area of country. Parts of Texas absolutely suck as far as rates go.
