From Commercial Vans to Hot Shots, Dump Trucks to Semis, fierce competition is driving insurance premiums to their lowest in years.

Is this a Good Time to be a Trucker in Ohio?
Yes! Ohio is booming again with a big shift toward automated and advanced manufacturing in 2026.
Ohio maintains it’s top position of the largest producer of auto parts in the U.S., and it’s set to grow even more with some serious high-tech investments.
Here are just a few examples specific to the auto industry alone:
- Honda is pouring over $1 billion into retooling its Marysville, East Liberty, and Anna Engine plants for its new Acura production.
- Ford is investing more than $1.5 billion in Lorain County to build new commercial vehicles.
- Stellantis is spending over $400 million at the Toledo Assembly Complex to add a new midsize truck line.
- Ohashi Technica USA is expanding its facility with an $11 million investment to ramp up production of precision auto components.
- Autokiniton and Engineered Plastic Components are collectively investing over $28 million to expand and better support their auto and appliance customers.
- Schaeffler Group just finished a 90,000-square-foot expansion to start producing electric motor components.
But it’s not just about the auto industry.
Central Ohio’s “Silicon Heartland” is booming with investment from giants like Intel, GE Aerospace, and Joby Aviation, creating new opportunities for transportation.
Governor DeWine recently announced another 17 manufacturing projects investing over $1.1 billion throughout the Buckeye State.
This boom in advanced manufacturing means more goods need to be moved.
At the same time, FMCSA is cracking down on non-domiciled CDL drivers.
This is leveling the playing field for you.
With some of the competition that was driving down load bids gone, the market is looking better.
You’re now in a great spot to bid higher and lock in more profitable runs.
So, what’s the bottom line for you?
More profitable freight for Ohio truckers to haul nationwide.
