Indiana flatbed rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 48' flatbed leaving Indiana averaged $5.09 a mile all-in in October 2026, +19.2% against the national $4.27. Loads arriving averaged $3.69. Indiana is a headhaul market: trucks leaving cost more than trucks arriving, because more freight is looking for a ride out than there are trucks delivering in.
State history applies today's Indiana adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
