Freight on this corridor is usually steadier than highly seasonal produce lanes, but volumes can tighten around late summer/early fall when construction and school-related shipments pick up and soften somewhat in holiday weeks. The lane is competitive because it sits between the larger San Antonio freight market and a smaller East Texas destination market, so outbound capacity from San Antonio can keep pricing flexible while backhaul opportunities out of Nacogdoches are more limited.
