Why walking floor lanes run the way they do
Walking-floor freight (mulch, waste, ag byproducts) runs short regional loops with self-unloading at the destination. Lanes are repeatable and often dedicated, and home-time offers are strong relative to OTR van work.

The methodology behind the benchmark
Every figure comes from active job postings in Lanefinder's index. Miles are OFFERED miles (the midpoint of the weekly-mile range a posting advertises), never delivered or actual miles. Percentiles are nearest-rank; each metric only counts postings that state it, and segments with fewer than 30 active postings are not published. Read the full methodology. Updated November 2026.
