What the crossing moved, and what the run takes

Laredo took 2,945,388 incoming trucks in calendar year 2025, out of 7,589,315 across every US-Mexico land border port.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — Border Crossing/Entry Data (calendar 2025): The next busiest port that year was Otay Mesa in California, at 990,111 incoming trucks — Laredo took close to three times as many.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — Border Crossing/Entry Data (calendar 2025): Its busiest month was March 2025 at 265,620 trucks and its quietest December at 219,222 — a flatter year than the produce crossings, which is why Laredo capacity plans more like a manufacturing lane than a seasonal one.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — Border Crossing/Entry Data (monthly, 2025): 3,867 trains also entered through Laredo in 2025, so a carrier there feeds and competes with rail rather than only the road.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — Border Crossing/Entry Data (calendar 2025): Laredo is one of the Texas US-Mexico ports of entry in that dataset, alongside Boquillas, Brownsville, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, El Paso, Hidalgo, Presidio, Progreso, Rio Grande City, Roma, Tornillo and Ysleta.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — Border Crossing/Entry Data (calendar 2025): Trucks observed running from Webb County to Dallas County in 2023 took a median of 459 minutes, but 25 per cent of them took 1,003 minutes or more — the slower quarter of that lane ran to more than double the middle of it.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — ATRI Freight Mobility Initiative, county-to-county truck travel times (experimental, 2023): The same sample puts the median north out of Laredo at 157 minutes to Comal County, 208 to Travis County, 324 to McLennan County and 459 to Dallas County, rising with distance along the corridor.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — ATRI Freight Mobility Initiative, county-to-county truck travel times (experimental, 2023): Running on to West Memphis, the median from Webb County to Crittenden County in Arkansas was 1,448 minutes, with a quarter of observed runs at 937 minutes or less.
Bureau of Transportation Statistics — ATRI Freight Mobility Initiative, county-to-county truck travel times (experimental, 2023): Those travel times are experimental estimates from a sample of about 300,000 trucks, and they measure elapsed time between a truck being seen leaving one county and arriving in the next — rest and waiting are inside the number, so none of it is drive time.

Figures are inbound crossings recorded by US Customs and Border Protection and published by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Calendar 2025 is used throughout because it is the last complete year.
