Transportation Jobs in Texas

Transportation hiring in Texas: the current picture

There are 804 transportation openings in Texas. Employers added at least 172 new transportation postings in Texas in the past week — an unusually active market, with a fifth or more of all listings arriving in the last seven days.

Hiring is concentrated: Domino's Pizza alone accounts for roughly 13% of open roles, with Lowes and Ryder next in line. Houston has the deepest pool (93 openings), followed by Dallas (51) and Austin (47). Of postings that specify a schedule, 74% are full-time, 23% part-time. 4 listings are remote-eligible — a small slice (about 1%) of the market.

Posted pay in Texas roughly mirrors the national picture — 8% of salaried postings advertise $100K or more, versus 6% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $42,000 here, compared with roughly $45,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for transportation and material moving occupations in Texas at $48,000 (median $42,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here are broadly in line with that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
