Delaware box truck rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 26' box truck leaving Delaware averaged $2.21 a mile all-in in October 2026, −2.6% against the national $2.27. Loads arriving averaged $2.49. Delaware 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 Delaware adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
