What moves through West Virginia
Energy anchors the state's freight, with coal, natural gas operations and the equipment, pipe and materials those industries consume moving constantly, often to sites at the end of narrow valley roads. The Marcellus and Utica activity in the north adds drilling equipment, water handling and infrastructure freight.
Chemical production along the Kanawha Valley ships specialty and industrial products, manufacturing operates across the state including automotive components and metals, and forest products move from the timber regions. Distribution serves a population spread thinly across difficult geography, which makes coverage rather than volume the market's defining challenge.
The corridors that carry it
I-77 runs north-south through the state, I-79 connects the north toward Pennsylvania, I-64 crosses toward Virginia and Kentucky and I-68 and I-81 clip the eastern panhandle. The interstates are only part of the picture, since a great deal of West Virginia freight leaves them for state routes through valleys where clearances, weight limits and switchbacks decide what equipment can actually get there.
