Las Vegas and Phoenix are on the list but not Los Angeles or any city in the Bay area? As a west coast guy I have NEVER seen anything come out of Vegas, and barely anything out of Phoenix. LA and the Bay areas are where the work is.

I love this thread, you guys are giving away all your secrets! :) I guess it varies between cargo van and straight.

1. Chicago (Dominates every city)
2. Detroit (competes with Chicago aggressively)
3. Cleveland/Akron Oh
4. Charlotte NC (best upcoming fastest growing)
5. Possibly Atlanta but I know there is something that will surpass it.

Dallas/Houston Texas can we step it up? LA best in the west. Runners up Grand Rapids/Ft Wayne/Milwaukee. Also if you're in a cargo van don't go to Seattle unless you want to take a 2-4 week vacation.

Agreed. Except we are having a heck of a time with Memphis this weekend. Been a couple of heavy ones out but just too heavy. And a 4-skidder that wouldn't fit. :(
