Enter origin + destination + equipment. We aggregate real loads from multiple top freight data sources pulled in the last 24 hours and show median rate, range, and $/mile. Free.
Live freight lane rates are the median market price for freight transported between a specific origin and destination, calculated from real loads posted on freight load boards within the last 24 hours. Our tool aggregates rates from multiple top freight data sources (pulled every 3 minutes) plus our own direct-shipper feed, filters to your exact origin city/state → destination city/state lane, and returns median rate, low/high range, and per-mile pricing with sample count. Free, no login required.
Our load-board warmer pulls fresh loads from multiple top freight data sources every 3 minutes. Live cache, not nightly batch.
We filter to your exact origin city/state → destination city/state pair, not a 300-mile radius. Real rates for your real lane.
Median, low, high, $/mile, sample count, and source breakdown — everything you need to defend a buy or sell price.
A rate is "fair" when both shipper and carrier see median market — neither paying broker spread nor underbidding their costs. Most rate calculators give you a national average, which can be 25%+ off in either direction on a specific lane during a busy week. Live lane rates capture what's actually transacting today.
The catch: most shippers don't have live load-board data, and most carriers see only their own board. We aggregate four feeds + our own direct-shipper loads, so the number you see is closer to true market mid than anything you'd find on a single board.
Every 3 minutes our load-board warmer pulls fresh loads from multiple top freight data sources. When you enter a lane, we filter the last 24 hours of loads to the exact origin city/state → destination city/state pair, then compute median rate, low/high range, $/mile, and sample count. Real published rates from real loads.
A calculator uses national averages by equipment type. Live lane rates reflect what brokers and carriers are actually transacting on your specific lane right now — capacity, fuel, weather, holidays, all baked in. Usually within 15% of a same-day bookable price.
We surface a national per-mile estimate for the equipment type instead, clearly marked "Estimated" in the UI. For an actual bookable price, request a live quote — we'll pull competing carrier bids on your lane in 60 seconds.
