Nevada's geographic location has led to it
being known as the "Distribution Hub of the Western States."
The state's extensive transportation network provides Nevada companies
with fast, efficient access to market. Nevada is also considered
to be a "consuming state" with more freight arriving than
leaving. This empty outbound capacity has created a very competitive
market and great cost savings for outbound shipments.
 
Trucking
From Nevada cities, truck shipments arrive overnight throughout
the West, including the important consumer and port cities of Los
Angeles and San Francisco. More than 150 carriers serve Nevada,
offering transcontinental, fast freight and van-line shipping to
all major markets.
Railroads
Union Pacific Railroad Company is the largest freight railroad serving
Nevada, operating more than 1,200 miles of line. Union Pacific crosses
both northern and southern Nevada. Burlington Northern Santa Fe
has also been authorized to operate over the tracks in northern
Nevada.
