Dry van report: Small carrier margins drop in February
Following Januaryβs boost in rates from the extreme cold, carrier profit margins have fallen back to where they were last year, dropping below breakeven in February to -$0.01/mile gross profit margin, almost identical to the 2024 average profit margin. Long-haul spot market carrier operating costs averaged $1.80/mile in February, with almost no change in operating cost per mile over the last two years. Compared to pre-pandemic operating costs, operators are paying around $0.18/mile more to run their trucks in 2025, while dry van linehaul rates hover just $0.04/mile above 2019 levels.
