Why Idaho for Tanker Operations

Mountain West tanker freight includes petroleum distribution to rural areas, mining chemicals for the region's extraction industry, and crude oil transport from Wyoming and Montana fields. The long distances between fuel terminals and delivery points translate to higher per-mile rates. Water hauling for mining and energy operations is a growing niche. Winter fuel demand in mountain communities creates seasonal rate increases.
