Virginia hotshot rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Hotshot leaving Virginia averaged $2.26 a mile all-in in October 2026, −1.7% against the national $2.30. Loads arriving averaged $2.58. Virginia 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 Virginia adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
