Minnesota step deck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Step deck leaving Minnesota averaged $5.62 a mile all-in in October 2026, +20.6% against the national $4.66. Loads arriving averaged $4.35. Minnesota is a headhaul market: trucks leaving cost more than trucks arriving, because more freight is looking for a ride out than there are trucks delivering in.
State history applies today's Minnesota adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
