Provo to Miami 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.
Miami is the trade capital of the Americas. PortMiami and Miami International Airport together process more cargo to and from Latin America and the Caribbean than any other US gateway. The Doral warehouse district west of the airport is a beehive of freight forwarding, consolidation, and break-bulk operations serving 40+ countries south of the border. Miami's unique position as a peninsula endpoint means nearly all domestic freight must travel north on I-95 or I-75, creating natural choke points and capacity constraints.
