First incorporated in 1881 and traditionally focused on agriculture and natural resources such as copper, cotton, cattle, and citrus, Phoenix has shifted its economy in the modern era to new industries like real estate, financial services, healthcare, retail, and tourism. Due to its steady economic and population growth over the years, Phoenix has established a capable transportation infrastructure to accommodate cargo coming arriving and departing the region. Trucking, operating throughout the 66,000 miles of highway in Arizona, makes up the majority of freight shipping in the state, though its historic and extensive railway network is also a large factor in Phoenix’s shipping capacity. The city’s airport, Sky Harbor International, handles nearly 90% of all air cargo originating or terminating in Arizona. With rail and truck access to major ports on the west coast, carriers in Phoenix have the infrastructure and connections to major shipping lanes that can provide nearly any mode of transportation for your cargo at a reasonable rate.
