Mention Wichita in July and Colton can already tell you which stretch of US-81 turns into a parking lot once a summer thunderstorm rolls through — the kind of thing you only pick up from running the same lane summer after summer, not from a map app.
| Lane | Distance | Roads we take |
|---|---|---|
| Azle to Memphis | ~470 | I-20 east to I-30 east to I-40 east |
| Azle to St. Louis | ~630 | I-30 east to I-40 east to I-55 north |
| Azle to Wichita | ~330 | US-81/I-44 north through Oklahoma |
| Azle to Jackson | ~560 | I-20 east the entire way |
The crew that loads your shipment off FM 730 is the same crew standing at the door when it comes off the truck, with no second outfit taking the load over once you cross into Oklahoma or Louisiana. Colton signs a price before the truck leaves Azle, and neither a backup on I-20 nor a stalled front over the Panhandle reopens that number. Need a lane that isn’t listed here? Plenty of jobs run outside these four — call and ask.
