South Dakota power only rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Power only leaving South Dakota averaged $3.64 a mile all-in in October 2026, +19.3% against the national $3.05. Loads arriving averaged $2.71. South Dakota 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.
