YES, IT'S VERMARCABLE
Trucking & Freight: Rates, Fleet & Employment Benchmarks
A free, platform-curated set of trucking and freight benchmarks — driver employment and median pay, on-highway diesel prices, trucking's share of freight tonnage and revenue, and key regulatory thresholds such as the 11-hour driving limit — compiled from Bureau of Labor Statistics, EIA, FHWA, FMCSA and American Trucking Associations public data. Helps carriers, shippers and analysts frame costs and capacity with widely published figures.
