Jimmy Mac talks with CarriersEdge CEO Jane Jazrawy about the rise of data centers, why they matter, and how they connect to trucking. Jane explains what these facilities are, why they use so much land, water, and power, and why communities across the country are pushing back. She breaks down how the shift from in-house servers to cloud systems affects carriers, why AI is driving massive growth in data center construction, and how this demand ties into infrastructure concerns that mirror trucking’s own challenges.

The conversation covers the rapid rise of server farms, the strain on utilities, and how major tech companies are shaping the future. Jane shares why the US leads in data center infrastructure, how AI is changing planning decisions, and what the trucking industry should expect as technology expands.
