Trucking in Arizona

Arizona is home to Knight-Swift, the largest truckload carrier in North America, making Phoenix a major trucking industry hub. The state benefits from its position as a gateway between California and the rest of the country, with I-10 and I-40 serving as critical east-west corridors. Rapid growth in e-commerce fulfillment centers and semiconductor manufacturing has driven freight demand. No toll roads and year-round operations (except Flagstaff area winter) make it attractive for carriers.
