The 1,080-mile two-day haul
Denver is the longest single-route haul we book, and it splits across two daylight cycles by federal law. We load Houston in the morning, ride I-45 north to Dallas, I-35 to Oklahoma City, then I-40 west to Amarillo, sleep the truck overnight, and push north on I-25 through Raton Pass into Colorado day two. Five interstates, three state lines, one signed flat figure.
| Mile marker | Pass-point | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Spring Branch yard | Houston load |
| 240 | Dallas, I-35 transition | Day-one morning |
| 440 | OKC, I-40 west | Day-one afternoon |
| 700 | Amarillo, TX | Day-one overnight |
| 910 | Raton Pass, CO line | Day-two altitude climb |
| 1080 | Denver, I-25 | Day-two unload |
Amarillo overnight
Kyle and Devin always split the haul at Amarillo, the federal log clock plus the Raton Pass elevation climb make the overnight non-negotiable. Truck sleeps at a secured depot, not a public lot, with climate-protected pad covers staying tight. Same crew rolls north day two; nothing changes hands at the state line.
Raton Pass winter watch
- November-April: chain-required status monitored daily
- Below 7,800 ft: alternate eastward via I-70 if pass closes
- Reschedule without second deposit on CDOT closure
- Sealed-pad wrap rated for sub-freezing transit
- Electronics deck-strapped against switchback chop
Denver delivery zones
LoDo and RiNo lofts, Wash Park bungalows, Highlands Victorians, Cherry Creek estates, Denver Tech Center corporate-transfer destinations, and Boulder-edge runs, same Kyle-led crew unloads them all. Sarah confirms freight-elevator windows and downtown permit zones before the truck leaves Texas.
