The Boise metro is one of the fastest-growing distribution markets in the Mountain West, with new warehouse space opening up regularly for retail, grocery, and e-commerce. When potato harvest hits on the Snake River Plain, reefer and flatbed rates jump, and experienced Idaho drivers plan their schedules around that peak.
