Trucking in Idaho

Idaho's trucking industry is heavily driven by agriculture, dairy, and timber. The state produces more potatoes, trout, and dairy products per capita than anywhere else in the country. Boise has grown rapidly as a tech hub (Micron, HP), adding e-commerce and manufacturing freight. The I-84 corridor connects Boise to Salt Lake City and Portland, while US-95 runs north-south through remote but scenic terrain. Low population density means long distances between stops.
