Nebraska is home to more than 8,000 commercial motor freight carriers providing direct transcontinental access to national and USMCA markets. Nebraska is also home to one of the top 10 carriers in the nation, Werner Enterprises.
Home to the nation’s first transcontinental railroad, Nebraska remains a leading rail center to such carriers as Union Pacific Railroad, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Canadian National. The nation’s largest railroad company, Union Pacific Railroad, is headquartered in Omaha where the central location promotes efficient rail service and intermodal freight transportation to destinations across the U.S. and throughout North America. Burlington Northern Santa Fe was purchased by Warren Buffet in 2009.
Water transportation by barge is available on the Missouri River, and 9 commercial airports move people and cargo in and around the State daily.
