Delaware flatbed rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 48' flatbed leaving Delaware averaged $4.15 a mile all-in in October 2026, −2.8% against the national $4.27. Loads arriving averaged $4.68. 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.
