    Doing some studying up on what's available in Texas Intrastate power only loads.

    I went to a free one truelos.com and they had 2 intrastate loads in Texas. I mean there's quite a bit more interstate loads that pick up in texas but I won't have the authority for that at least not starting out.

    I'm getting an intrastate authority because it's much easier/cheaper overall especially considering I will be running power only loads at least at first.

    Anyways any of yall got access to that dat board? I figure that's the one that will give me the most accurate views on what's running intrastate power only in texas.

    If one of yall that has a membership to that could do a quick search on power only intrastate loads available and give me the number I would appreciate it.

    The free forums are not giving me much hope that there's enough work in intrastate power only texas runs to keep me running.

    Thats gonna be a hard find unless you find a company thats hauling just within Tx . Maybe PAM hauling auto parts from Laredo through TX. Might be a flat bed gig near Houston hauling pipe to the oil fields idk , good luck.

    That's an Interstate load. Anytime the load goes over a state (country lines are also state lines) line it's interstate.

    Texas has a lot of cross border and port loads that don't count as intrastate, even if delivering to a place in TX.

    Dang Jb hunt had 30 or so loads for just intrastate texas loads. Ok now we're talken. Looking more doable now that is. Of course, I have no idea what they pay.

    Some where 289 to 350 mile but you set your price. You should make 1000 a day to 1500 a day.

    I have TX intrastate authority. Even with pulling my Reefer the rates are terrible. So I generally do not use the authority much. Too many trucks in the state with intrastate only. Much of the intrastate traffic is contract. Spot market there is low volume. I couldn’t imagine power only. Good luck!!
