Vermont dry van rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 53' dry van leaving Vermont averaged $3.09 a mile all-in in October 2026, −11.5% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $4.26. Vermont 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 Vermont adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
