Eleven Mile, AZ.

Eleven Mile (Eleven Mile Corner) sits in central Pinal County between Coolidge and Casa Grande on the AZ-87 corridor, a small Sonoran Desert community along the central Pinal County agricultural and aggregate belt. The freight rhythm is defined by the I-10 corridor connector via AZ-87 to Picacho, central Pinal County agricultural haul, and the Magma copper-haul corridor. Summer extreme heat exposure defines the operational pattern.

Eleven Mile Corner, Arizona, is a former settlement and Rural Postal Station now largely considered to be an unincorporated portion of the city of Casa Grande, with which it now shares a common zip code. The area was so named due to its location being 11 miles to the east of Casa Grande, 11 miles north of Eloy, Arizona, and 11 miles Southwest of Coolidge, Arizona. The area came to be in the early 1940s when State Hwy 87 was cut through approximately 3 miles to the East, and the existing road between Casa Grande, Coolidge, and Florence was improved and became a sub-segment and by-way of Hwy 87. A second road was cut through intersecting with Florence Blvd. connecting Eloy with the O' Odam Tash Indian reservation. This intersection became Eleven Mile Corner.

Eleven Mile Corner anchors a stretch of central Pinal County on AZ-87 between Coolidge and Casa Grande, and the freight rhythm here is defined by central Pinal County agricultural haul, the I-10 / AZ-87 connector at Picacho, and the Magma copper-haul corridor running north through Coolidge. The community is named for the historic Eleven Mile Corner schoolhouse and gas station, and serves as the central waypoint for the Pinal County agricultural belt running between the Coolidge Generating Station, the Hickman's Family Farms egg complex, and the I-10 connector at Picacho.

Dispatchers running loads through Eleven Mile know the AZ-87 corridor connector toward Picacho and I-10 carries the heaviest service-call volume. The AZ-287 east toward Florence and the Magma copper-haul corridor add daily commercial freight. Our Eleven Mile rescuers stage at the AZ-87 / AZ-287 corridor cluster because that is where the operational volume hits the central Pinal County agricultural belt.

When a Class 8 tractor breaks down on AZ-87 during August heat with a Pinal County agricultural load, or a Magma copper haul loses air on the AZ-79 north corridor, every minute the truck sits is fuel idle plus delivery schedule risk. Whether you are a fleet manager dispatching from Phoenix with a load stranded at the Coolidge Generating Station, an owner-operator on AZ-87 inbound from Picacho, or a Florence prison-supply carrier inbound from the I-10 corridor, the closest verified Road Rescue Network rescuer in Pinal County is reached through a single phone call.
