Pet transport demand in Dallas
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the top five pet transport markets in the country. The Texas Triangle — Dallas to Houston (240 miles), Dallas to Austin (195 miles), Dallas to San Antonio (275 miles) — is one of the most driver-active short-haul regions on Ferried. DFW's position as a major corporate headquarters city generates long-haul demand to Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles year-round. The military population at NAS Fort Worth JRB adds consistent PCS transport. Multiple major interstates converge in DFW, so drivers can cover routes in every direction without backtracking — which keeps bid response times among the fastest in the South.
