Trucking in Vermont

Vermont is a small but unique trucking market driven by dairy, food processing, and specialty goods. Ben & Jerry's and Cabot Creamery both generate significant reefer freight. The Canadian border crossing at Derby Line/Stanstead handles cross-border commerce. The I-89 and I-91 corridors handle most freight, with mountain terrain making deliveries challenging in rural areas. Seasonal tourism (fall foliage, skiing) creates demand spikes. Mud season in spring can render some roads impassable for heavy trucks.
