Delaware dry van rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' dry van leaving Delaware averaged $3.40 a mile all-in in October 2026, −2.6% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $3.83. 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.
