Ohio box truck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 26' box truck leaving Ohio averaged $2.67 a mile all-in in October 2026, +17.6% against the national $2.27. Loads arriving averaged $2.00. Ohio 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.
