Tennessee box truck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 26' box truck leaving Tennessee averaged $2.32 a mile all-in in October 2026, +2.2% against the national $2.27. Loads arriving averaged $2.18. Tennessee 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.
State history applies today's Tennessee adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
