Rate Average Hits Record High in September 2021
Maybe it is inflation. Perhaps it is the increased demand for goods delivered by trucks as brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe it is the dearth of truckers available to work. Whatever the case, the rate per mile on trucking continues to rise. DAT has the numbers.
September 2021 Numbers
- Dry van increased eight cents per mile, to a total of $2.83 per mile.
- Flatbed mileage rose by a penny, totaling $3.07.
- Reefer jumped the same amount as dry van, but with a higher price point in August, $3.23 is a smaller percentage gain for reefers, compared to dry van hauling.
- The average jumped a nickel to $3.04, marking the first time in recorded history the average has exceeded $3 per mile.
