Holland. FCC. Morehouse. SAV. Climate. All smaller, non-mega companies with the atmosphere and miles I'm looking for in a trucking company. All based in either the very north, or Nebraska. As the title says, are there no comparable trucking companies like these based out of Texas? One would think that Texas would be just as good of a location to have out-and-back and/or coast-coast freight as ND/MN and Nebraska. But for the life of me I can't seem to find any trucking company based in Texas (dry van or reefer) that comes close to holding a candle to those aforementioned companies. Maybe my Google-## isn't strong enough?
Are there no quality small fleet long/decent haul trucking companies in Texas?

I'm gonna ask the dumb question. What exactly is "line haul"? And how does it differ from "long haul"?
USA doesn't fit in with the aforementioned companies. But that "pick your load" option is intriguing.
Climate will hire out of Texas, but they're not based in Texas.
McVK is also not based in Texas. -
Line Haul is terminal to terminal/drop & hook, then back home.
Oh, didn't know you want something headquartered in Texas. Bulkley is headquarted in Brashear, TX

Most Line Haul is pulling doubles.

Would dry bulk interest you? Custom Commodities is in Gilmer, TX. And has yards in Houston, Dallas and elsewhere that I can't remember right now. But you take the truck home, so...
