Dry van markets are still red-hot in the West, with California, particularly around Los Angeles and Ontario, leading the pack. The Midwest and Southwest continue to offer solid opportunities, making these regions reliable for van hauls. Reefer markets are maintaining strong momentum in the upper Midwest and Northwest, with Twin Falls, ID, Green River, WY, and Fargo, ND, being key hotspots. Flatbed markets remain widely distributed, with the Midwest seeing consistent demand in cities like Louisville and Lexington, KY, and steady opportunities along the South Atlantic coast, including North Charleston, SC. Truckers across all sectors can find profitable lanes by targeting these high-performing regions.
