The trailer in the center of that picture is unusual. It looks like it has a reefer on the nose. That isn't unusual in itself, but reefers make most of their revenue hauling perishables to big cities. They haul dry freight, like cardboard, carpet, can goods, etc. as a "back haul" to pay for the fuel and expenses to get back to where they can pick up another perishable load. Texas is one of the states known for agriculture, and I would expect most reefers in Texas to be hauling perishables out of the state or across the state rather than picking up a back haul. The only thing that occurs to me is that a perishables distributor may be picking up boxes to pack the produce or boxed beef in for shipment out of the state.
