Meridian Dedicated Lane FAQs
Why is Meridian attracting distribution center development?
Meridian offers newer, more affordable industrial land than downtown Boise with direct I-84 access. The city's position between Boise and Nampa puts it at the center of the Treasure Valley's growing population. Low Idaho taxes and a business-friendly regulatory environment add to the appeal for DC operators.
How does Scentsy drive Meridian dedicated freight?
Scentsy, the home fragrance company, is headquartered in Meridian and ships millions of warmers, wax bars, and fragrance products from its local facility. Dedicated carriers move outbound product to regional distribution points and deliver inbound materials on regular schedules, providing consistent year-round volume.
What residential construction freight demand exists in Meridian?
Meridian has been adding thousands of new homes annually, driving dedicated flatbed and dry van demand for lumber, concrete, roofing, drywall, and mechanical systems. Construction freight peaks in spring through fall, with dedicated carriers serving builders and suppliers throughout the Treasure Valley.
