North FW Livingthe alliance corridor field guide

The employer guide

Tell us where you badge in. We'll tell you what's honest.

Roughly 70,000 people work at AllianceTexas daily, and thousands more at the Westlake campuses next door. Every one of them got the same advice — 'live close!' — and none of it said close to what, at which shift, on which highway.

Pick your badge

Charles Schwab (Westlake HQ)

The 114/170 junction campus — and the pockets that make it a short drive instead of a daily 35W negotiation.

Fidelity Investments (Westlake)

Next door to Schwab, same commute geography — and your actual schedule can change which pocket makes the most sense.

Alliance logistics spine

Amazon, FedEx, UPS, distribution and fulfillment along I-35W and Perot Field — where shift-time honesty matters most.

BNSF Railway

The intermodal facility and railroad operations — the corridor's original logistics anchor.

DFW Airport workers

Living on the corridor with a badge at the airport: the 114 corridor math.

How to read our commute language: we say short, moderate, and longer instead of fake-precise minute counts, because 7:40am on I-35W and 5:15am on I-35W are different highways. Every employer page tells you which drive to test and when. Test it before you sign anything.
