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.
Lanes are based on the Mountain West region where Nevada is located. Actual lane availability varies by season and market conditions.
Nevada's major shippers including Amazon LAS1-LAS7 and Tesla Gigafactory (Sparks) generate consistent intermodal freight. The state's moderate freight volume and 7/10 owner-operator friendliness score make it a strong market for intermodal carriers.
