Light manufacturing, distribution for northern New England, and construction materials from the state's quarrying industry comprise most loads. NH has no state income tax and no general sales tax — popular pull factor for drivers based here who run other-state lanes. Cost of living is moderate; winter is severe. Generally favorable trucking regulations. The granite quarries in the central state generate heavy, axle-load-sensitive freight.

The methodology behind the rankings
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 May 2026.
