Virginia dry van rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' dry van leaving Virginia averaged $3.43 a mile all-in in October 2026, −1.7% against the national $3.49. Loads arriving averaged $3.92. Virginia 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 Virginia adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
