Gillette is the energy capital of the United States in the most literal sense — the Powder River Basin produces approximately 40 percent of all coal mined in the country. No other domestic freight market has a single commodity source of that scale. The carrier market here has been shaped almost entirely by that output: coal hauls, oversize loads for mining equipment, oilfield service freight, and the supply chain infrastructure required to sustain operations of that magnitude.

The Basin is also one of the fastest-booming and fastest-busting energy markets in the country. When demand is high, Gillette carriers are running at capacity and still can't keep up. When coal demand softens or export channels tighten, carriers feel the contraction immediately. Many operators in Gillette have been through multiple cycles.

BNSF and Union Pacific both serve the Basin, but the last-mile freight between mine and rail load-out is carrier country. High desert temperature swings and remote distances between sites add structural costs that don't ease between cycles.
