Dry van markets are booming on the West Coast, with California hubs like Los Angeles and Ontario leading the charge, while the Midwest and Southwest also offer solid lanes to chase. Reefer demand is red-hot in the upper Midwest and Northwest, with top-paying hauls coming out of Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Idaho. Flatbed freight remains steady, with strong activity in the Midwest, particularly Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and reliable demand in the Southeast, including Florida.
