Freight markets are buzzing with opportunities across the country. Dry van hauls remain strong out West, with California hubs like Los Angeles and Ontario leading the way, while steady demand in the Midwest and Southeast offers additional profitable lanes. Reefer freight is red-hot in the upper Midwest and Northwest, with Idaho and the Dakotas standing out as key hotspots, and the Southeast is gaining momentum as well. Flatbed freight is holding steady, with the Midwest—particularly Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky—dominating, while demand in Florida and the Southeast continues to rise.
