Austin sits along Interstate 35, one of the busiest north-south corridors in Texas, connecting the city directly to Austin and San Antonio. U.S. Highway 290 and State Highway 71 provide strong east-west access, making it easier for carriers to reach major destinations across Texas and beyond. This highway network improves carrier availability and allows for more flexible scheduling options.
