Arizona step deck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Step deck leaving Arizona averaged $3.68 a mile all-in in October 2026, −21.0% against the national $4.66. Loads arriving averaged $4.33. Arizona 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 Arizona adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
