Freight in Las Vegas

Much of the freight into Las Vegas feeds its resorts, convention center and growing population. The resorts are among the largest employers in the state: Nevada's 2026 employer list puts MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and Caesars Palace at 5,000 to 9,999 workers each, and they all need food, beverages, linens and supplies every day. NDOT's freight plan says Utah and California are Nevada's top outside sources of freight by weight. The Las Vegas Convention Center, a 4.6-million-square-foot campus, brings in exhibit freight for shows like CES and the SEMA Show.

Warehouses are growing fast. The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance counted about 14.9 million square feet of industrial space under construction in the valley in spring 2024, with big new parks in North Las Vegas, Apex, Henderson and Jean. Crocs ships Hey Dude footwear from a building there of more than 1 million square feet, and Saddlecreek Logistics leases space at Vantage North. Union Pacific's Las Vegas intermodal facility typically handles paper products, autos and building materials, and the Marnell Air Cargo Center at Harry Reid International Airport has about 200,900 square feet of freight space.

Main routes and truck traffic

The highways most loads in and out of Las Vegas run on: I-15, I-11 / US 93, I-215, CC-215, US 95.

I-15 runs southwest past Primm and over Mountain Pass toward Barstow, the Inland Empire and Los Angeles, and northeast through Mesquite to St. George and Salt Lake City. I-11 and US 93 head southeast through Henderson and Boulder City toward Kingman and Phoenix. US 95 runs northwest toward Reno and south toward Searchlight and Needles. I-215 and CC-215 circle the valley. Most loads we book out of Las Vegas run on I-15.

NDOT's 2022 freight plan says most freight traffic in Southern Nevada runs on I-15, followed by US 93, the 215 beltway and US 95, and that new warehouses near neighborhoods have raised the need for designated truck parking. NDOT's I-15 South project widened about nine miles between Sloan Road and Warm Springs Road, with construction scheduled through December 2025. Southbound trucks pass the CHP Mountain Pass port of entry just past the California line.

Lane planner: what a load out of Las Vegas really pays

Pick a lane, type the broker's offer, and see your miles, driving time, fuel and what's left after dispatch.

Miles are estimates (straight-line distance × 1.13). Check your truck GPS before you accept a load. Driving days assume the 11-hour driving limit.

Who hauls out of Las Vegas

Most for-hire carriers based in Las Vegas are small: about seven in ten run a single truck or less. That's who we work for: owner-operators and small fleets who want a dispatcher handling the load boards, broker calls and paperwork.

Truck parking and weigh stations

Space counts are from NDOT's truck parking supply inventory, September 2018, the newest site-by-site count NDOT has published that we could open. The same inventory counted about 956 spaces at 10 private truck stops along I-15 between Blue Diamond Road and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Source

NDOT's 2022 freight plan says Clark County had a deficit of more than 550 truck parking spaces and names I-15 as a route with major parking needs, so we plan your stop before you roll. Source

Weigh stations

The Nevada Highway Patrol says Nevada has no permanent fixed inspection facilities. It uses mobile enforcement teams and temporary inspection sites instead. Source

Southbound, CHP runs the Mountain Pass Joint Port of Entry on I-15 just south of the Nevada line, open 24/7, with separate loaded, empty and scale-and-permit lanes. Source

The California Department of Food and Agriculture's Mt. Pass border protection station is on I-15, 7 miles south of Primm. Source

What we book, by truck type

Dry van

Resort supplies, retail and e-commerce freight come into Las Vegas every day. We line up the reload before you unload, out of the new warehouses in North Las Vegas and Apex when we can.

Reefer

Food and beverages for the resorts keep reefers coming in on I-15. With summer highs over 100°F most days, we check temperatures and appointment times on every load.

Flatbed

Building materials for a fast-growing metro move on flatbeds, along with machinery for construction sites. We check securement, tarp needs and permits before we book.

Box truck

Trade show and convention freight, plus final-mile deliveries around the valley, suits 26-foot box trucks.

Power only

Preloaded trailers and drop-and-hook freight out of Las Vegas distribution centers work well for power only units.

How we dispatch here

• We line up the reload before you deliver, so you're not sitting empty in Las Vegas waiting for a load
• We plan deliveries near the Strip and the convention center around big shows: SEMA Show November 3–6, 2026, the National Finals Rodeo December 3–12, 2026, and CES January 6–9, 2027
• Southbound loads pass the CHP Mountain Pass port of entry on I-15, open 24/7, and the California agriculture station 7 miles south of Primm, so we make sure your paperwork and equipment are in order
• NDOT counts a shortage of more than 550 truck spaces in Clark County, so we plan your stop before you roll and never send you to park on city streets
• Interstate carriers only need their USDOT number and MC. Loads that start and end in Nevada need intrastate authority from the Nevada DMV
