Why Dry Van Driver Hiring is Different in San Antonio
San Antonio sits on the I-35 Mexico corridor carrying roughly 40% of US-Mexico surface trade, with Laredo just 150 miles south. The Toyota plant and its 23-supplier campus drive consistent just-in-time flatbed and dry van moves, while Eagle Ford oilfield activity keeps tanker and hotshot demand volatile but high-paying. Cross-border drayage pools compete with line-haul carriers for CDL-A talent.
