Agriculture & Farm Trucking in Oregon — FAQ

What agricultural products are trucked in Oregon?

Oregon's unique mix includes grass seed (world's largest producer), hazelnuts (#1 in U.S.), berries (Marion blackberries, blueberries), wine grapes from the Willamette Valley, Christmas trees, and dairy products from Tillamook. Eastern Oregon adds wheat, potatoes, and cattle to the trucking mix.

Is agriculture trucking in Oregon mostly local?

The majority is local or regional. Grass seed moves from farms to cleaning plants within 50 miles. Dairy tankers run Tillamook-to-Portland routes (75 miles). Berry loads go from Willamette Valley farms to processing plants in Salem or Portland. Some grain moves longer distances to Columbia River export terminals.

How does Oregon's rain affect agriculture trucking?

Western Oregon's wet climate (40-60 inches of rain annually) means drivers must be comfortable operating in rain from October through May. Muddy farm access roads, limited visibility, and slick surfaces are standard conditions. Eastern Oregon is drier but deals with snow and ice in winter.
