Maryland hotshot rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Hotshot leaving Maryland averaged $2.27 a mile all-in in October 2026, −1.3% against the national $2.30. Loads arriving averaged $2.53. Maryland 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 Maryland adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
