Questions

Why is dry van on a hazmat site?

Because it is the baseline. Every hazmat premium LIVE publishes is measured against dry van loads moved on the same trailers, by the same drivers, in the same period.

What is a good dry van rate per mile?

In 2024 to 2026 LIVE's median dry van rate was $3.61 at 50-249 miles, $3.50 at 250-499 miles, $2.80 at 500-749 miles, $2.58 at 750-999 miles, $2.36 at 1000-1499 miles, $1.90 at 1500+ miles, all-in including fuel. Short hauls pay more per mile because the fixed cost of a pickup and delivery is spread over fewer miles.

Where does this data come from?

LIVE Global Logistics' own moved loads, 2015 to 2026. Medians, not averages. Data updated 2026-10-27.
