The city is a regional freight stopover along I-70, with K-10 carrying commuter and trade traffic to the Kansas City metro and US-59 running north-south through Douglas County.

Lawrence is a city in and the county seat of Douglas County, Kansas, United States, and the sixth-largest city in the state. It is in the northeastern sector of the state, astride Interstate 70, between the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 94,934. The city is a college town with a significant student population, because it is home to both the University of Kansas (KU) and Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU).
Lawrence is the cross-country stopover halfway between Kansas City and Topeka on I-70, and the closest urban truckstop strip to the University of Kansas. A breakdown on I-70 eastbound coming down from the hilltop overlooks into the city pulls a long-distance reefer or dry van off the main corridor at the perfect bad place to lose time, which is exactly why Road Rescue Network rescuers stage at the K-10 interchange and at the Lawrence west bypass.
Lawrence freight is a mix of cross-country transit and local manufacturing. Hallmark, Berry Global, and Hill's Pet Nutrition all operate Lawrence production lines with steady inbound and outbound shipping, and the BNSF mainline through east Lawrence generates regular drayage between the rail and the local distribution centers. Our rescuers know which gates take after-hours phone calls and which industrial alleys are gate-coded.
Whether a fleet manager is dispatching to a stranded driver coming over the hill on I-70 westbound from Kansas City, or an owner operator is on K-10 inbound from Eudora, the closest verified, insurance current rescuer in our Lawrence network is reached through a single phone call or service request. Confirmed ETA and direct hand-off are handled by our 24/7 operations team.
