Minnesota box truck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 26' box truck leaving Minnesota averaged $2.74 a mile all-in in October 2026, +20.7% against the national $2.27. Loads arriving averaged $2.12. Minnesota 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.
