Freight market & seasonality in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is one of the top-five U.S. warehousing states by square footage (NAIOP), anchored by the Lehigh Valley (I-78/I-81/I-80 convergence within a day's drive of NYC, Philly, and DC) and the Harrisburg/Carlisle mega-DC belt. Pittsburgh remains a major steel and specialty-chemicals origin, and the Marcellus/Utica shale play sustains oilfield tanker and flatbed demand in the western half of the state.
