City Profile

Jefferson IA Trucking & Freight Industry Overview

Jefferson is the Greene County seat sitting at the US-30 / IA-4 crossroads in central Iowa, 60 miles west of Des Moines. US-30 is the four-lane east-west spine connecting Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities to Sioux City and the I-29 corridor. Ag freight, wind-energy components, and the Scranton ethanol plant drive the volume.

Jefferson is a city in, and the county seat of Greene County, Iowa, United States, along the North Raccoon River. The population was 4,182 at the time of the 2020 census. It is the home of the Mahanay Memorial Bell Tower, 168 feet (51 m) tall, located on the town square, and visible for miles. The tower is named for Floyd Mahanay, a businessman, philanthropist, and former resident. Jefferson is bisected east to west by the old Lincoln Highway. A new U.S. Route 30 is located approximately one mile to the north.

Jefferson's freight rhythm centers on the US-30 four-lane east-west corridor, with daily reefer, dry-van, and ag-hauler volume between the Quad Cities and Sioux City. The wind-energy buildout in west-central Iowa drives oversize-load coordination work, turbine blades and tower sections roll through here on US-30 routinely.

Scranton Manufacturing makes truck bodies and fire-apparatus in nearby Scranton, so the Jefferson corridor sees a mix of new chassis deliveries, body-build inbound LTL, and finished-vehicle outbound transport. Our network handles the OEM-coordination work.
