West Virginia step deck rate history
All-in rateFuel cost per mile
A Step deck leaving West Virginia averaged $4.59 a mile all-in in October 2026, −1.5% against the national $4.66. Loads arriving averaged $5.11. West Virginia 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 West Virginia adjustment to the national series back to 2003.
