Des Moines is Iowa’s state capital and its largest city — sitting at the crossroads of I-80 and I-35, two of the most heavily traveled freight interstates in the United States. I-80 running east-west is the primary coast-to-coast freight corridor across the northern tier. I-35 running north-south is the primary NAFTA corridor connecting Laredo TX to Duluth MN. Des Moines’s geographic center position in Iowa — surrounded by the most productive agricultural land on earth — makes it the commercial hub of the nation’s top corn and soybean producing state. John Deere, Pioneer (Corteva), and a massive agricultural equipment and processing economy generate extraordinary flatbed and commodity truck demand throughout Polk County and the greater metro. If you have a truck to sell in Des Moines, we know this market and we move fast.

The Des Moines Truck Market
Des Moines’s I-80 and I-35 convergence makes it the freight hub of Iowa and one of the most strategically located cities in the US freight network. I-80 carrying transcontinental freight and I-35 carrying NAFTA corridor traffic cross directly through the metro — making Des Moines a critical waypoint for OTR operators running both coast-to-coast and north-south routes. Iowa is consistently the top or second-largest corn and soybean producing state in the US, and the enormous grain and agricultural commodity volumes moving through Des Moines’s surrounding elevator and processing network generate extraordinary flatbed and grain truck demand throughout Polk and surrounding counties. We also buy trucks in Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and across all of Iowa.
