Vermont step deck rate history

All-in rateFuel cost per mile

A Step deck leaving Vermont averaged $4.13 a mile all-in in October 2026, −11.4% against the national $4.66. Loads arriving averaged $5.69. 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.
