Ethanol transport from distilleries in Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska is a major hazmat niche. Fertilizer and pesticide distribution from manufacturing hubs to farming communities creates seasonal demand spikes. The chemical corridor along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers generates year-round hazmat freight.
