Missouri dry van rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 53' dry van leaving Missouri averaged $3.97 a mile all-in in October 2026, +13.8% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $2.92. Missouri is a headhaul market: trucks leaving cost more than trucks arriving, because more freight is looking for a ride out than there are trucks delivering in.

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