Pickup coverage in Aggieland
We pick up from any College Station or Bryan address — Texas A&M dorms and hotels, the Northgate area, Easterwood Airport (CLL), and neighborhoods across Brazos County. Outlying pickups (Wellborn, Kurten, Millican) are quoted at the same flat door-to-door rate.
The route we drive
Our default corridor is SH-6 South through Navasota, then TX-249/US-290 into Houston — the routing our dispatchers send drivers on nearly every run. A&M game-day weekends and weekday morning rush on the 610/290 interchange are the two windows that reliably stretch the drive; we build that into the pickup time you're quoted.
