New Mexico reefer rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' refrigerated leaving New Mexico averaged $3.35 a mile all-in in October 2026, −19.5% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $4.33. New Mexico 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 Mexico adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
