Trucking in Iowa

Iowa is the heart of US agricultural freight — corn and soybean production rank #1 nationally, and ethanol plants generate continuous tank/hopper freight. I-80 (east–west) and I-35 (north–south) cross in Des Moines, making it a key Midwest freight crossroads. Key commodity flows: grain, ethanol, pork (Iowa leads US pork production), wind turbine components (large flatbed/heavy-haul market), and John Deere agricultural equipment.
