Casper to Jacksonville Freight Corridor
Casper is Wyoming's oil city, sitting in the heart of the Powder River Basin energy corridor. The city has been tied to petroleum since the first gusher in 1889, and today the Sinclair refinery and dozens of oilfield service companies generate the bulk of local freight demand. The surrounding region also produces trona (the raw material for soda ash) and uranium, creating specialized mining freight that requires flatbed and specialized carriers. Wind energy development across central Wyoming has added a new category of heavy haul freight.
Jacksonville is where the Southeast's freight arteries converge. As CSX's headquarters city and the junction of I-95 and I-10, Jax controls rail and truck freight flows between the entire Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf Coast. JAXPORT is the #1 vehicle-import port in the US, processing over 700,000 vehicles annually that Southeast Toyota and other distributors truck to dealerships across the Southeast. The city's geographic position makes it the ideal repositioning hub for carriers running Florida's north-south lanes.

This lane connects oil & gas and wind energy freight from the Casper market to logistics & distribution and automotive import processing demand in Jacksonville.
