Best State

[flattop40]

Ok here is a poll question for ya. Which state is the best state for expidited frieght? Now please consider ALL factors. Quantity, quality, closeness to home, fuel costs, weather, road conditions and construction, traffic, etc.

There is a Poll option you could have used. The data would be easier to understand.

Anyway - I'd have to say Ohio.

I stand corrected. Sorry about that!

I stand corrected. Sorry about that!

Lawrence you were just too quick for me.

Michigan is the best, we exported our form of politics to the WH and now it seems that everyone wants to follow us on how we build roads that can fall apart in less then three years.

Add taxes to the mix and Texas gets stronger with no state income tax. I initially thought Ohio to be centrally located and in the freight zones. I prefer Texas and it is the best state of all but lacks proximity for expediting.

Leo, outside of "expediting", would you say Texas ranks up there with intrastate freight?

I voted 'other'. The best state, IMO, is where other trucks ain't, and the freight is. Right now, it's Wisconsin. On the rare occasions I get there, I rarely wait to get out. Tennessee is another one. More often than not, I have to dh there to get loaded.
