Connecticut hotshot rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Hotshot leaving Connecticut averaged $1.92 a mile all-in in October 2026, −16.5% against the national $2.30. Loads arriving averaged $2.84. Connecticut 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 Connecticut adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
