Las Vegas to Jacksonville Freight Corridor
Las Vegas is one of America's most imbalanced freight markets — the city consumes vastly more than it produces, creating a chronic backhaul problem for carriers. Nearly everything the 2.3 million residents and 40+ million annual visitors consume must be trucked in from Southern California, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City. Amazon's growing fulfillment presence in North Las Vegas is beginning to generate more outbound volume.
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.
