Trucking in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is home to Schneider National, one of the largest and most respected carriers in the nation, headquartered in Green Bay. The state's dairy industry — Wisconsin produces more cheese than any other state — drives consistent reefer demand. Paper manufacturing in the Fox Valley (Appleton, Neenah, Green Bay) generates dry van and flatbed freight. Oshkosh Corporation, maker of military and specialty vehicles, creates heavy haul and specialized loads. The I-94 corridor connects Milwaukee to Chicago and the Twin Cities, making it a critical Midwest freight lane. No toll roads help keep operating costs manageable.
