What drives hauling services demand in Grand Rapids: the local numbers

For a hauling services operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
A population of 198,535 supports a steady volume of hauling services jobs. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (69th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 125,205. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 175,720.5, so Grand Rapids sits above the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for hauling services in Grand Rapids.
