Missouri Freight Transportation Economy on the Move Truck Freight Missouri Economic Research and Information Center Truck Industry The Missouri highway system is the longest state road system in the Mid- West spanning 32,800 miles and crossing over 10,224 bridges. The highway freight industry that relies on this system currently employs 39,867 workers; 38,491 in general, specialized, and intercity freight trucking positions and 1,376 in road transportation support activities. Warehousing and storage industries are closely related to freight shipping activities and employ over 16,500 workers in the state. An Economic Driver The trucking industry employment has a large impact on Missouri’s economy generating an estimated $5.1 billion annually in Gross State Product, $2.6 billion in personal income and $172 million in new net Missouri general revenues. The more than 39,800 direct workers generate an estimated 33,900 indirect and induced spin-off jobs annually in Missouri through purchases of industry intermediate inputs and employee consumer spending. Commodity Flows Shipment values and tonnage for all modes combined increased in Missouri by roughly 20% over the five years surveyed. Truck shipments accounted for over 74% of the value and over 78% of the total tonnage. Over $162 billion in Missouri commodities are shipped by truck. Pharmaceuticals, mixed freight, and chemicals represent nearly 22% of the total value of those Missouri commodities. Over $110 billion are imported by truck to Missouri. High value imports include pharmaceuticals, motorized vehicles and parts, and mixed freight. Missouri Economic Research and Information Center Trends in Truck Shipments 2002-2007 Shipment values and tonnage for all modes combined increased in Missouri by roughly 20% over the five years surveyed. Missouri companies shipped nearly $226 billion and 305 million tons of commodities throughout the U.S. Truck shipments accounted for over 74% of the value and over 78% of the tonnage or $167.7 billion and 240.7 million tons. The Commodity Flow Survey breaks out truck shipping into for-hire and private truck only modes and truck intermodal modes (truck/rail, truck/water). The most recent survey reports a significant increase in truck only shipping values (20%) and tonnage (21%). Shipping increases occurred across 30 commodity classifications. Substantial dollar gains were found in chemical products, meat/fish, fuel oils, coal/petroleum products, and grain/alcohol/tobacco shipments. Likewise, the intermodal truck and rail shipments increased substantially in both value (334%) and tonnage (421%). Truck and water intermodal, previously suppressed in 2002, now shows a growth in value to $149 million and 5.9 million tons. Missouri Economic Research and Information Center Shipment Weights The distribution of shipment weight by truck mode primarily falls into four categories. The 10 to 50 thousand lbs group represents about 51% of total truck tonnage and 47% of the total value.
