Average the DAT national average dry van linehaul rate (the spot rate excluding fuel surcharge) for July, August and September 2026. Average the three monthly averages and round to the nearest cent. Source: DAT Trendlines or DAT monthly rate reports.

The DAT national average dry van linehaul rate is the per-mile rate carriers are paid for the truck, with the fuel surcharge stripped out. Because it excludes fuel, a change in diesel moves the surcharge, not this rate. In mid-June 2026 the all-in dry van spot rate was about $3.01 a mile while the linehaul underneath it, near $2.37, set a weekly record, even as freight volumes stayed below year-ago levels, on DAT data. The June EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook expects shipments through the Strait of Hormuz to resume during the third quarter, easing diesel and the fuel surcharge. This market asks where the dry van linehaul average lands in Q3 2026. A companion market tracks the national diesel price over the same quarter.
