Rhode Island power only rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A Power only leaving Rhode Island averaged $2.70 a mile all-in in October 2026, −11.5% against the national $3.05. Loads arriving averaged $3.71. Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
