According to DAT:
"Indianapolis, often called the "Crossroads of America" and a "warehouse freight market," is the largest of Indiana's five freight markets. This is due to its central role as a logistics hub with strategic infrastructure supporting national distribution and supply chain operations. Located with a single-day drive to more than 70% of the U.S. population, shippers are currently holding elevated inventories imported ahead of new tariffs, generating increased freight volumes for regional hauls.
Truckload carriers positioned in or near import-heavy corridors out of Indianapolis or aligned with upstream wholesale distributors, stand to benefit from the current environment as inventories begin to move into consumer markets ahead of back-to-school demand, restocking for holiday shopping seasons (including Black Friday and Cyber Monday), and year-end inventory buildup by retailers and manufacturers."
