MultiSoic Transport & Logistics

Hot Market of the Week🔥

According to data from the Commerce Department, Arizona is recognized as the capital of foreign trade zones in the United States, with the highest number of employed workers in this sector compared to any other state. It has also become a key destination for the increasing volume of imports from Asia that arrive in Los Angeles and are transported east by truck. Recently, many companies have been utilizing foreign trade zones to defer tariff payments on imported goods until the items are sold. This strategy improves cash flow and helps avoid supply chain bottlenecks as tariffs continue to rise. Phoenix stands out as a prime safe haven for these activities.

Arizona’s strategic location provides direct access to California, Mexico, and other western U.S. markets, with over 86 million people reachable within a one-day truck haul. The state has major interstate highways (I-10 and I-40), multiple Class I railroads, and international airports, making it an ideal logistics and distribution hub. Currently, dry van freight volumes between Los Angeles and Phoenix are over 30% higher than last year, and an additional surge in truckload demand is anticipated in the coming weeks.
