From the roads we drive on to the foundations beneath our homes, aggregate materials are at the heart of construction across Texas and beyond. But moving these essential materials efficiently and reliably requires more than just trucks — it requires coordination, compliance, and trust. That’s where trucking brokers come in.
At 326 Trucking, we’re proud to play a critical role in this supply chain, helping connect local haulers with the customers and materials that keep infrastructure moving forward.
The aggregate industry includes the transport of:
Sand
Gravel
Limestone
Crushed stone
Other construction fill materials
These materials are used in concrete, road base, drainage, site prep, and more, and they're typically hauled by dump trucks — often via end dump trailers operated by independent owner-operators.
Trucking brokers act as the central hub between:
Aggregate plants & quarries (the material suppliers)
Construction companies & contractors (the customers)
Independent owner-operators (the haulers)
We handle:
Route planning
COI coordination
Compliance with plant and permit requirements
Matching the right job with the right truck — every time
Without a broker, each party would have to coordinate directly — creating confusion, delays, and missed opportunities. With a broker like 326 Trucking, the entire process is streamlined.
Brokers don’t own the trucks — they build a network of trusted, vetted haulers and match them with jobs based on:
Equipment type
Proximity to the plant
Material compatibility
Load weight and timing
More flexibility: Brokers can scale up or down with market demand.
Lower overhead: No cost of truck ownership or driver payroll.
Faster response: Brokers can assign trucks across regions in real time.
Support for local drivers: Owner-operators get more consistent work without relying on apps or chasing one-off loads.
Instead of building a company-owned fleet, brokers like 326 Trucking choose to invest in local drivers. We support their success by:
Providing regular work
Offering weekly pay
Sharing route and plant access
Helping them build profitable, independent businesses
When drivers are paid fairly and consistently, the ripple effect supports:
Local banks and insurance providers
Truck maintenance shops
Fuel stations and supply vendors
Their own families and communities
We believe aggregate hauling should benefit more than just the top of the supply chain.
At 326 Trucking, we’ve built our business on:
Relationships over transactions
Reliable work over empty promises
Owner-operator empowerment over micromanagement
Hundreds of loads coordinated per week across Texas
Fully vetted driver network with insurance and permit compliance
Transparent broker fee — no hidden costs or markups
Real-time dispatch support and plant communication
Weekly pay that helps drivers stay afloat — and grow
Our customers get:
Dependable haulers
Quick response times
One point of contact for multi-site projects
Peace of mind knowing we manage the back-end details
As infrastructure spending grows, so does the demand for reliable aggregate transport. The future will depend on:
Strong broker-carrier relationships
Investment in technology and transparency
Ongoing training and support for independent haulers
Data-driven route and dispatch optimization
326 Trucking is committed to staying ahead of these trends — and bringing our drivers and customers along with us.
