For owner-operators and 1099 drivers based around Las Vegas, Reno-Sparks, Henderson and Elko, running I-80, I-15, I-11 and US-95.

The Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of Sparks has become one of the West's biggest distribution parks, and I-80 carries its freight over the Sierra into California. In the south, I-15 between Las Vegas and Southern California is one of the busiest freight lanes in the West. In between, US-95 and I-80 cross long stretches with few towns.
A Reno driver running to Sacramento daily, or a Las Vegas driver running to the Inland Empire, is out of state on most shifts.
Before you buy, search the plan's directory for the hospitals your family would use at home, such as Renown Health, University Medical Center of Southern Nevada and Intermountain Health, and for urgent care along I-80, I-15, I-11 and US-95.
