Interstate and Highway Transportation
Located where Interstate 80 meets Interstate 29, Greater Omaha is at the crossroads for regional and national commerce. This makes it possible to reach the majority of U.S. destinations within two to three days by truck. Expansion Management recently designated Omaha as a "Top Five Star Logistics Metro" for being in the top 5% of all metro areas nationwide for the Logistics Quotient. Factors considered for the quotient include overall transportation and distribution industry climate, workforce/labor costs/availability/skill levels, road/highway basic infrastructure and spending, road density/congestion/truck safety, road conditions, taxes and fees, railroad access, air service and interstate highway access.
Greater Omaha is also home to 50 interstate and 40 intrastate motor freight carriers providing direct transcontinental access to national markets. This includes the nation’s premier transportation and logistics company, Werner Enterprises. An extensive availability of irregular route, contract and special commodity carriers completes the full array of over-the-road truck transportation available to metro area businesses.
