    I currently live in Florida but wants to relocate to Dallas TX. How hard it is to get a load in the state of Texas, if I just want to run within the state.

    Just as easy as getting a Florida intrastate load..
    My experience, the rates are just as miserable.. :confused:

    I run out of San Antonio and been doing this a long time. Usually I do CA and back but have stayed within Texas sometimes. You can EASILY have enough freight staying in Texas. Rates always fluctuate of course but typically Laredo to Dallas is $1200-1800, Laredo to Houston $900-1000, Houston to San Antonio $600-800, worst is Dallas to Houston is like $600. This is dry van off load boards.

    Everyone I know that does Texas only grosses about $5k-$5.5k. It’s not great, but if you want to be home and you’d have a low fuel bill it might interest you. Hopefully you can find some dedicated customers to boost your gross.

    Nothing is worse than Florida but if you're cool simply surviving cheaply you can make it in Texas much more than Florida.
