Driving CDL in Arizona
Arizona freight runs on the I-10 cross-border corridor with Mexico — Nogales is one of the busiest US-Mexico commercial crossings — and through Phoenix and Tucson 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 and generally favorable trucking regulations.
