Central USA Produce Loading Opportunities

We’re not talking huge volumes of loads involving fresh produce in the Midwest, or Central USA, but there are quite a few areas shipping this time of the year.  Even a partial load may allow you to get to another destination to fill out the trailer, or deliver and get a full haul.

Texas –  There are 350 to 400 truckloads of Mexican avocados crossing the border into the Lower Rio Grande Valley each week.  There’s also a significant amount of Mexican watermelons moving into Texas as well.  The valley itself continues to ship various vegetables.

New Mexico — It may not be big volume, but onions are being shipped from the Las Cruces area.

Michigan — Light to moderate volumes of apples are available from Western Michigan.  In about a month vegetable shipments will get underway.

Wisconsin — Potato loadings continue from the Stevens Point (central Wisconsin) area in moderate volume.

Colorado — The San Luis Valley is averaging around 500 truckloads of potatoes a week.

Nebraska — The Cornhusker state is certainly no Idaho, or even a Colorado or Wisconsin, when it comes to potato shipments.  However, there are spuds in limited amounts coming out the Southwestern (Imperial) and Northeastern (O’Neill) parts of the state.

 Wisconsin potatoes – grossing about $2000 to Houston.

South Texas produce – about $4600 to New York City.
