New York flatbed rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 48' flatbed leaving New York averaged $4.39 a mile all-in in October 2026, +2.8% against the national $4.27. Loads arriving averaged $4.83. New York 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.
