Maine power only rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Power only leaving Maine averaged $2.88 a mile all-in in October 2026, −5.6% against the national $3.05. Loads arriving averaged $3.88. Maine 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 Maine adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
