Trucking in Maryland

Maryland's strategic position between the Northeast corridor and the South makes it a high-volume freight state. The Port of Baltimore is a top US port for auto imports and roll-on/roll-off cargo. The I-95 corridor through Baltimore is one of the busiest trucking corridors in the country. Government and military freight from the DC metro area, Fort Meade, and Aberdeen Proving Ground provide steady demand. The Eastern Shore (Delmarva Peninsula) is a major poultry producing region driving consistent reefer freight.
