Where Dallas lands, and why

Dallas has no seaport, but it is one of the country's biggest inland container hubs. Supply arrives by rail from Gulf and West Coast ports through the BNSF Alliance terminal in Haslet and the Union Pacific Dallas Intermodal Terminal in Hutchins, and many local yards cluster in Hutchins in ZIP 75141 near I-20 and I-45. That depot competition keeps Dallas delivered prices in the lower half of the national range — usually well below deep-inland markets, though not quite at Port of Houston levels.

Delivery in Dallas

Most Dallas deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need a long, straight run — about 80 to 100 ft for a 20ft and about 120 ft for a 40ft, plus 12 to 14 ft of width and 14 to 16 ft of overhead clearance. Set the box on level, dry compacted gravel, dirt, asphalt or concrete; soft or sloped ground can make doors bind. In Dallas, containers on private property are generally treated as accessory storage, but check city or county rules on duration, setbacks and screening before you order.
