Indiana reefer rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' refrigerated leaving Indiana averaged $4.96 a mile all-in in October 2026, +19.2% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $3.59. Indiana 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 Indiana adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
