Because so many factors go into calculating a fair rate for customers, the average rate per mile to move freight can be all over the place depending on location, season, and current market conditions. Migway does not look to be the cheapest carrier option for your freight but instead focuses on providing you a business solution that removes extra headaches and helps you to focus on what is going to move your business forward.

FTL is an acronym used in the industry that stands for "full truckload." FTL shipments are your shipments that require a carrier to dedicate the entire space of their equipment solely to making sure it gets to its destination.

On the other hand, an LTL, or "less than truckload," shipment is what is used to refer to shipments smaller than an FTL and allows for multiple LTL shipments to be transported on a carrier's equipment. Which service you require depends on your shipping needs. Shipments that require direct transportation and unique care should move as FTL shipments to minimize the transit time and to increase the safety of your shipments.

The cheapest way to ship freight usually means not the safest or most reliable method of shipping. Though ground transit is more beneficial to your bottom line than air transit, scouting the cheapest option via ground transit can leave your cargo on the trailer of a carrier that is not concerned about safety or does not obey DOT regulations. This is why Migway looks to provide our customers peace of mind at a fair price.

Agreeing on a rate is the simple part. Ensuring your products arrive safely on time once you've released your cargo will depend on the carrier's reputation, safety practices, and hours of service. This is why 3PL providers and freight brokers build scorecards for carriers to ensure that the transit is finished once and done and to prevent fall-offs and return trips to shippers because a driver/shipper did not secure the load.

A full truckload can typically hold 24 to 30 standard pallets (48” x 40”), depending on the weight and stacking ability of the cargo. If double-stacking is possible, you might fit more, but for heavy or oversized freight, the truck may reach its weight limit before filling up on space. Standard dry van trailers are usually 53 feet long, which is the most common size for FTL shipments.

The cost of shipping a full truckload varies widely depending on distance and shipment specifics. A short-haul shipment under 500 miles may cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000, while medium-haul shipments of 500 to 1,500 miles typically range from $2,000 to $5,000. Long-haul shipments covering over 1,500 miles can run anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000 or more. The average cost per mile generally falls between $1.50 and $3.50, but factors like fuel prices, supply and demand, and any special requirements—such as refrigeration or expedited delivery—can significantly impact the final price.

Full truckload shipping is best for shipments that are large, high-value, time-sensitive, or require minimal handling. Common FTL freight includes pallets of consumer goods, raw materials, machinery, and retail inventory. If your shipment fills a trailer or needs a direct route without stops, FTL gives you faster transit, better security, and fewer touchpoints.

MigWay’s truck freight calculator uses advanced algorithms that factor in previous shipment history, current market volume, fleet capacity, and the location and timing of your load. Instead of static estimates, our system delivers a real-time, data-driven rate tailored to your shipment. Today’s tech allows us to provide an instant, fair quote you can trust—every single time. And as an asset-based carrier, it’s a quote we stand behind.

Full truckload rates fluctuate based on fuel costs, lane demand, equipment availability, and seasonality. For example, rates often increase during produce season or holiday surges. That’s why our calculator uses dynamic pricing, not outdated averages—so the rate you see reflects the current market conditions, not last month’s numbers.

A truck load rate calculator focuses specifically on full truckload (FTL) shipments, while many generic freight tools cover small parcel or LTL. MigWay’s tool is built for FTL precision.

MigWay’s freight calculator uses live lane data, regional demand, and current fuel indexes to generate real-time estimates. While market conditions can shift daily, our calculator provides rates within 5–15% of final confirmed pricing, making it one of the most accurate tools for FTL freight in the Southeast and Midwest.

In 2025, average full truckload (FTL) rates range from $2.25 to $2.80 per mile for dry van freight and $2.50 to $3.20 per mile for flatbed shipments. Seasonal demand, region, and trailer type can slightly raise or lower these averages.

Truckload rates vary by state due to fuel prices, highway tolls, regional freight demand, and backhaul availability. For example, outbound freight from Florida or the Northeast typically costs more due to lower return-load density, while Midwest routes often offer more balanced rates.
