Rate per mile is total charges (linehaul plus fuel surcharge and accessorials) divided by billed miles. Medians, not averages, so one bad load does not move the number. Check the same lane length by hazard class in the calculator →
How to use this number
Shippers: a bid far under $3.62 on this lane is a carrier who has not priced the placards, the endorsement and the return trip. Expect service problems. Carriers and owner-operators: this is the midpoint; your truck, your backhaul and the week decide whether you sit above or below it. Brokers and agents: quote from the recent median and keep the spread in mind when the shipper pushes back.
