Freight where I-40, I-75 and I-81 converge

I-75 and I-40 run together for about 17 miles between Lenoir City and Knoxville, widening to six lanes and carrying an average of more than 210,000 vehicles a day on their busiest shared stretch, before I-75 splits north toward I-81 and I-40 continues east. The old I-75 alignment through downtown is now I-275, and I-640 diverts through traffic around the city centre. On the east side, the Knoxville and Holston River Railroad runs just under 19 miles of track and serves 13 customers, most of them inside the Forks of the River Industrial Park, with a connection to Norfolk Southern for the rest of the trip.

Knoxville's cargo hub is McGhee Tyson Airport, where UPS and FedEx account for roughly 90 percent of air cargo operations through a facility built in the early 1990s; in 2025 the airport moved just under 62 million pounds of freight. A citywide look at 2025 theft data counted 10,876 incidents in Knoxville, with property crimes such as theft making up 60 percent of them. Trailers and equipment left in an industrial yard overnight fall into that same category, and a food truck's trailer disappeared from a Cherry Street parking lot before dawn one Sunday, caught on camera hitched to a rented box truck.

A Knoxville yard near the Forks of the River Industrial Park or along the I-40/I-75 corridor gets the same coverage either way: a live Sigma agent on every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The agent doesn't wait for someone else to notice a problem — AI detection flags a person or vehicle, the agent checks the footage before anything else, delivers a live, instant talk-down through the speakers, and calls police if the person stays put. Video clips and a written report follow any incident that needs one.
