Maine Freight Shipping Solutions

Maine’s freight market is shaped by its distinctive geography: a rugged coastline, vast northern timberlands, and a position at the far end of the I-95 Northeast Corridor. The Port of Portland, Maine’s famous lobster industry, and a significant timber and paper sector define the state’s freight character. Freight shipping in Maine requires carriers who actually know how to operate up here, not just those willing to try.

Maine’s lobster industry is the most valuable marine fishery in the United States.
