Indiana hotshot rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Hotshot leaving Indiana averaged $2.74 a mile all-in in October 2026, +19.1% against the national $2.30. Loads arriving averaged $1.99. 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.
