New York reefer rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' refrigerated leaving New York averaged $4.27 a mile all-in in October 2026, +2.6% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $4.70. New York 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 York adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
