Maine dry van rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' dry van leaving Maine averaged $3.29 a mile all-in in October 2026, −5.7% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $4.44. Maine 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 Maine adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
