Freight Shipping from the South to the Southeast

Houston and Tampa are connected by a major Gulf Coast freight corridor linking Texas with Florida. Carriers commonly travel east from Houston along I-10 through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama before connecting with I-75 for the final stretch into the Tampa Bay area. Direct Drive Logistics coordinates freight from Houston to Tampa for businesses moving goods between two major Southern commercial and distribution markets.

DDL provides dry van, flatbed and expedited freight service for Houston-to-Tampa shipments. From industrial equipment and construction materials to packaged goods and time-sensitive freight, our team works with dependable carriers to keep loads moving efficiently along I-10 and I-75 from pickup through delivery.
