Nebraska power only rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Power only leaving Nebraska averaged $3.67 a mile all-in in October 2026, +20.3% against the national $3.05. Loads arriving averaged $2.59. Nebraska 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 Nebraska adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
