Driving CDL in Arizona
Arizona freight runs on the I-19 / I-10 corridor from the Nogales border crossing — one of the busiest US-Mexico commercial crossings — through Tucson and Phoenix metro distribution. Semiconductor fabs in the Phoenix metro add a high-value freight segment on top of the regional distribution base. Summer heat is the dominant operational variable: ambient temperatures above 110°F change how equipment behaves and how long you can run before forced cooling stops. Arizona has a low flat state income tax.
