Narrative:

Laredo tower cleared us for immediate takeoff on runway 14 with right turnout. There was landing traffic for runway 14 3 mi out. The last sign I noticed was a yellow marker for runway 14. I made a right turn for a heading of runway 14 and took off. Tower advised me I was not on runway 14. I must have taken off on a taxiway parallel to runway 14. I felt rushed to depart and clear the runway for landing traffic. I was also in a hurry to get my freight to destination because I was a little late on the first leg of the trip.
