In the spirit of Thanksgiving week, let's have some Freight Facts About Turkeys!
Nearly 5.12 billion pounds of turkey were produced, and moved, across the U.S. in 2024.
2025 projections show that number dropping to 4.48 billion pounds, meaning fewer birds, tighter loads, and a whole lot of re**er coordination.
🚛 Top 3 turkey states?
Minnesota, North Carolina, and Arkansas - together, they handle over 37% of national production.
🥶 Most turkeys travel in refrigerated trucks, because no one wants a warm bird showing up late.
Turkey season isn’t just about stuffing. It’s about smart routing, tight timing, and keeping things cold.
Turkeys might not fly, but they sure move fast on I-40!
