New Jersey box truck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 26' box truck leaving New Jersey averaged $2.29 a mile all-in in October 2026, +0.9% against the national $2.27. Loads arriving averaged $2.40. New Jersey 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 New Jersey adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
