Massachusetts step deck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Step deck leaving Massachusetts averaged $4.12 a mile all-in in October 2026, −11.6% against the national $4.66. Loads arriving averaged $5.43. Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
