Why Arizona for Intermodal Operations
Mountain West dry van operations face unique challenges from long distances between freight hubs and high deadhead percentages. Denver and Salt Lake City are the primary load origins, with Phoenix adding significant volume in the south. Carriers who can secure round-trip freight between these hubs perform well, but one-way loads into rural areas often require repositioning. The I-70 and I-80 corridors are critical arteries.
Arizona Advantages
- Year-round operating conditions with no winter shutdowns
- Intel and TSMC semiconductor plants driving flatbed demand
- Strategic position on I-10 and I-40 transcontinental corridors
- Growing e-commerce fulfillment center concentration in Phoenix metro
