IN THE CENTER OF THE ACTION
Nebraska is home to some of the nation’s leading transportation companies and sits on one of the busiest rail corridors in North America. Nebraska is also home to the headquarters of the Union Pacific Railroad, a variety of shipping centers and the largest rail yard. 11,500 resident truck companies, including two of the ten largest in the country, impressively show Nebraska’s importance in the field of logistics.
Nebraska’s central location makes it an ideal transportation hub. Interstate 80, the busiest intercontinental highway in the United States, stretches 482 miles east-west from one end of the state to the other. Seven national north-south highways traverse the state, providing businesses with easy access to the NAFTA trade corridor.
The state is also served by two Class I rail systems. Supply chain and logistics management companies have in recent years discovered what railroads and trucking companies have long known: Nebraska’s central location is becoming key to conducting business.
EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE TRADING PLACE
Nebraska is the ideal location for distribution centers and warehouse stores. Storing, organizing, and distributing Nebraska merchandise is easy and efficient. International manufacturers, dealers and distributors benefit from the two foreign trade zones in Lincoln and Omaha. Customs duties on foreign goods can be deferred until they enter American trade channels. This leads to significant cost savings.
Because of tremendous access to natural transportation corridors and infrastructure, Nebraska’s transportation, warehousing, distribution, and logistics industries are thriving, which is reflected in the number of companies thriving here.
A group of companies – including shippers, warehouses and logistics service providers – formed the Nebraska Logistics Council (NLC). The NLC is a forum for professional and educational advancement in worldwide transport, warehousing, distribution and logistics. NLC has established itself as a valuable tool for economic development.
