Texas is the largest trucking state in the country, and it shows up heavily in our HubSpot data both in wins and losses.

But Texas also has the widest pricing spread of any state we analyzed.

WON Deals (Texas)

  • 1 truck: ~$15,000–$17,000 per truck

  • 2–4 trucks: ~$12,000–$13,000 per truck

  • 5–9 trucks: ~$12,500 per truck (average)

Texas one-unit pricing is consistently higher than Midwest states, even for clean drivers.


Why Texas Pricing Is So Volatile

Texas LOST deal data highlights several unique issues:

  1. High new-venture volume
    Texas sees more first-year authorities than almost any other state.

  2. Radius and interstate exposure
    Many Texas drivers run long distances across multiple states.

  3. Carrier restrictions
    Some carriers simply won’t write certain Texas risks, leading to “not approved in state” outcomes.


Texas LOST Deals: What We See Most Often

  • One-truck quotes averaging $18,000–$20,000

  • Extreme outliers far above that

  • Deals lost due to:

    • state approvals

    • operation type

    • timing (late renewal shopping)

Texas deals are rarely lost because “another agent did better.” They’re lost because the market itself is unforgiving without the right access.

What Texas Truckers Should Do Differently
