Trucking in Nebraska

Nebraska is a trucking hub anchored by Werner Enterprises and Crete Carrier Corporation, two of the largest carriers in the nation, both headquartered in the state. Omaha's position on I-80 — the busiest east-west trucking corridor — makes it a natural distribution point. Union Pacific's headquarters here drives significant intermodal volume. Meatpacking plants (Tyson, JBS, Cargill) in Grand Island and Lexington generate steady reefer demand. The I-80 corridor across Nebraska is one of the most heavily trucked stretches in America.
