Life and Work in Rio Grande Valley
The Valley is one of the fastest-growing parts of Texas, with McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, Harlingen and Brownsville forming a nearly continuous corridor along the expressway. Agriculture, produce distribution, manufacturing and cross-border trade drive the economy, and thousands of families work in warehouses, packing houses and on job sites.
That trade brings constant commercial truck traffic. Trailers move between the international bridges, cold storage facilities and distribution centers all day, sharing roads with commuters, school traffic and farm equipment. Crashes involving heavy trucks are a serious and recurring problem here.
ZIP codes we serve include 78501, 78539, 78550 and 78520
