South Carolina dry van rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' dry van leaving South Carolina averaged $3.19 a mile all-in in October 2026, −8.6% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $3.58. South Carolina 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 South Carolina adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
