Missouri power only rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Power only leaving Missouri averaged $3.47 a mile all-in in October 2026, +13.8% against the national $3.05. Loads arriving averaged $2.56. Missouri 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 Missouri adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
