New Hampshire reefer rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 53' refrigerated leaving New Hampshire averaged $3.81 a mile all-in in October 2026, −8.4% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $5.08. New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
