Great article from ATBS on the best and worst states for loads. I was surprised Michigan didn't make it in the top outbound category.
As a truck driver, you want to always be pulling a load. This means that after you deliver a shipment, you want to be loading up a new load that same day and bringing it back home.

Let’s take look at the top 5 states in van, reefer, and flatbed, according to DAT.
