How the rate is matched
We try the most specific match first — your exact origin-to-destination lane — and fall back through state-level, then regional, then national if there isn't enough recent data on your lane. The confidence label tells you which match level you got.
- Lane-specific — direct match on your origin → destination pair. Highest confidence.
- State-level — origin and destination state pair. Good for less-trafficked lanes.
- Regional / National — used as a fallback. Treat the number as a ballpark, not a quote.
Rates update weekly. Use the trend line — not just the headline number — to decide whether the market is moving with you or against you.
Lane rates FAQ
Is there a free tool that shows the market rate for a trucking lane?
Yes — pick the origin, destination, and equipment type above and you get the going market $/mile for that lane, a 12-week trend, and the load-to-truck ratio, updated weekly. Free, no signup.
How accurate are market lane rates?
Treat them as a benchmark, not a quote. The figures are regional weekly averages — your specific load moves with weight, dates, dock times, and your relationship with the broker. The tool shows what the market is paying; the rate you accept is your decision.
How do I know what to charge per mile?
Two numbers: your own cost per mile (our free cost-per-mile calculator computes it from your rate, diesel, MPG, and deadhead) and the lane's market band from this page. A rate above your cost is profit; below it costs you money to haul, whatever the load board says.
What is OverTheRoad.AI?
OverTheRoad.AI is an AI back office for owner-operators and small fleets. You scan your paperwork — rate confirmations, settlements, fuel receipts, compliance documents — and it turns them into your books: invoices you can send and track, expenses, IFTA miles by state, tax-ready deduction reports, and renewal reminders, all built from your own documents. The free tools on this site work without an account; the full app has a 30-day free trial with no card required.
