Provo to Las Vegas Freight Corridor
Provo-Orem anchors the southern end of Utah's Silicon Slopes tech corridor, home to Vivint, Nu Skin, and hundreds of startups generating a growing stream of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer freight. BYU's 35,000+ students create consistent consumer goods demand, while the supplement and health products industry — a Utah specialty — ships nationwide from facilities along the I-15 corridor. The US-6 highway eastward through Spanish Fork Canyon is the primary route connecting the Wasatch Front to the Carbon County coal and mining region.
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.

This lane connects technology (silicon slopes south) and higher education (byu) freight from the Provo market to gaming & hospitality and e-commerce fulfillment demand in Las Vegas.
