Vermont Highway
Think a moment of the states with economies driven by trucks. We're guessing Vermont didn't rank high on anyone's list. Still, Vermont has a rich history in the transportation industry most of it buried in the silt at the bottom of Lake Champlain. Vermont roadways wind through small scenic villages, and some don't allow truck traffic out of pure spite. With the 52nd largest economy in the U.S. (trailing the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) it would seem Vermont doesn't have much to offer a driver. But if you want a regional route in-state or eastward to New Hampshire and Maine, you can find opportunities with small carriers. You may not see much of the country as a Vermont-based driver, but if you want lots of home time and are satisfied living in a state where insect species outnumber the capital city's population 2:1, you have found your home! Don't discount Vermont.
