The Piney Woods of East Texas — around Tyler, Longview, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches — host a major timber industry. Heavily loaded logging and lumber trucks share narrow, winding two-lane highways with local traffic.
Timber Country Traffic
US-59 (I-69), US-69, and US-259 carry significant truck volume through the region.
The Dangers of Rural Two-Lane Roads
Passing on two-lane highways, limited sight lines, and heavy trucks create a dangerous mix. Crashes with logging trucks, like other commercial-truck wrecks, can be catastrophic and involve federal trucking rules.
Smith, Gregg, Angelina, and Nacogdoches county courts handle these cases.
