What moves through Tucson
Produce defines the seasonal freight, since the Nogales crossing an hour south handles a substantial share of America's winter vegetables and Tucson serves as the natural staging and distribution point for that flow. From November through spring, refrigerated capacity in this corridor is a daily conversation.
Mining is the industrial anchor, with copper operations across southern Arizona moving heavy equipment, materials and product on open decks, often to remote sites. Aerospace and defense manufacturing add high-value precision freight, and distribution serves the metro and southern Arizona broadly.
The corridors that carry it
I-10 runs northwest to Phoenix and southeast toward El Paso, I-19 drops south to Nogales and the border and state routes reach the mining districts. The Nogales lane is the market's defining seasonal corridor and the Phoenix connection its primary domestic one.
