Dry van freight remains robust, with California hubs like Los Angeles and Ontario leading the West, while the Midwest—especially Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio—offers steady demand. Reefer freight is surging in the upper Midwest and Northwest, with hotspots like Idaho and the Dakotas, and the Southeast is gaining momentum. Meanwhile, flatbed freight holds steady, driven by Midwest states such as Indiana and Ohio, and supported by consistent activity in the South.
