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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I verify a Iowa trucking carrier is licensed and insured?

Every carrier listed on this page has an active FMCSA USDOT number.

The top 100 by fleet size are listed above, sorted by reported power units.

Does Iowa have specific commercial vehicle regulations?

Federal Bridge Formula rules and 80,000 lb maximum gross vehicle weight apply on Interstate highways in Iowa. State-specific permits are required for oversize/overweight loads, and some states enforce additional emissions, hours-of-service, or weight enforcement rules. Carriers should consult the Iowa Department of Transportation for current commercial vehicle requirements.
