Connecticut dry van rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 53' dry van leaving Connecticut averaged $2.91 a mile all-in in October 2026, −16.6% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $4.31. Connecticut is a backhaul market: it is cheaper to ship out than to ship in, because trucks that delivered here compete for a limited number of outbound loads.

State history applies today's Connecticut adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
