Idaho reefer rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' refrigerated leaving Idaho averaged $3.94 a mile all-in in October 2026, −5.3% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $4.33. Idaho 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 Idaho adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
