Why Nevada for Dry Van Operations

Mountain West dry van operations face unique challenges from long distances between freight hubs and high deadhead percentages. Denver and Salt Lake City are the primary load origins, with Phoenix adding significant volume in the south. Carriers who can secure round-trip freight between these hubs perform well, but one-way loads into rural areas often require repositioning. The I-70 and I-80 corridors are critical arteries.

  • Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks creates steady flatbed and reefer demand

Rate Methodology: These figures come from our own pricing model, not from observed load board data. It applies a regional base rate for each equipment class, adjusted for metro size. It does not incorporate live freight volume, seasonality, or any third-party rate index, and it is not a substitute for checking a load board. Treat these as a starting point for negotiation, not a quote — actual rates vary widely by lane, broker, season, and the specifics of the load.
