Utah reefer rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A 53' refrigerated leaving Utah averaged $3.28 a mile all-in in October 2026, −21.2% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $4.40. Utah 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 Utah adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
