Shipping & Distribution Dumas is uniquely positioned in the center of the United States. With truck and rail access in all directions, we are sure to help reduce your distribution costs! The Dumas Business Park, located off of US 287, is primed for your new distribution center with all underground utilities. Low business costs, economic stability and easy market access make Dumas a great fit for any national distributor seeking ways to reduce their transportation costs. That's not just our opinion--US 287 is one of the most important north/south arteries in the nation, demonstrated by the choice of countless carriers who use it to move goods and services from Mexico to Canada and all points in between. Formation of the Ports to Plains initiative, the leading trade corridor in the U.S., as well as large-scale transportation efforts by the state mean that excellent, well-maintained roads lead to and from our city. Also connecting Dumas is Hwy 87, making a route to New Mexico, Colorado and beyond easy. One of the nation's most important east/west conduits, Interstate 40, is located just south of Dumas. Dumas is a short drive from the international airport in Amarillo, which means that air transportation to all domestic and international points is close and convenient. Amarillo's Rick Husband International Airport serves American, Continental and Southwest Airlines.
