Why Fort Worth Is an Auction Freight Hotspot
The DFW corridor sits at the junction of I-20, I-30, and I-35 — three of the heaviest freight corridors in the country. Ritchie Bros runs multiple live and online sales from their Fort Worth yard every year, while traveling auctioneers like Alex Lyon frequently set up in the Greenville/North Texas area. The result: a year-round stream of auction freight heading in every direction.
