Driving CDL in Vermont

Vermont freight runs on I-89 and I-91 through a small market with low population density. Dairy products, specialty food manufacturing (Ben & Jerry's, Cabot, others), and building materials comprise most loads. Seasonal agriculture (apples, maple syrup in spring) adds volume. Cost of living is moderate to high; Vermont has a high graduated state income tax. Winter is long and severe; the state's lane network is narrower and more topographically constrained than New England neighbors. Cross-border trade with Quebec adds international-permitting consideration for some lanes.

Where this data comes from

Lanefinder's ranking algorithm weights compensation at 30%, FMCSA SAFER safety at 25%, benefits at 25%, and operational performance at 20%. Compensation reflects pay percentile plus sign-on bonus, guaranteed pay, and settlement-frequency adjustments. Benefits scoring is hiring-type-aware. Operational performance comes mostly from how carriers handle real driver applications. Updated July 2026.
