    Are they the heaviest traveled interstates or areas for moving freight? If that is correct, where does Richmond, VA fall in that scenario?

    Thank you.

    Every company has a list of shippers and consignees. The movement of loads from shipper to consignee is a freight lane. A lot of freight moves up and down the I-95 corridor.

    Freight lane can be used as a general or specific term. A company out of NYC that hauls stuff to Miami and then reloads produce and hauls it back to the Northeast would consider I-95 their freight lane and might hire anyone that lives along the corridor.

    Drivers that live near major freight lanes have a wider choice of companies to drive for. Richmond Va has no shortage of freight. Inbound/outbound and through freight. You should have many choices of companies available to you for employment.
