Vermont reefer rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A 53' refrigerated leaving Vermont averaged $3.69 a mile all-in in October 2026, −11.3% against the national $4.16. Loads arriving averaged $5.08. Vermont 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 Vermont adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
