Open and enclosed transport from anywhere in Jackson County, reached by carriers on US-62. Common routes include Oklahoma City and Fort Worth.
Altus is the main town of the Altus micropolitan area in Jackson County. About 18,600 people live here, according to the Census Bureau's 2023 estimate.
Altus is not on an interstate. The closest is I-40, about 46 miles away in a straight line, and US-62 is the main highway through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route. Altus Air Force Base is nearby, so military PCS moves are a regular part of local demand.
Winters are fairly mild, so scheduling depends more on summer storms and holiday demand than on snow.
