## Blog

- [Rate Per Mile Is Misleading: Why the Best-Paying Loads Have the Worst RPM](https://truxx.ai/blog/rate-per-mile-misleading) — On the Truxx.AI network, a box truck load at $6.03 per mile pays $717. One at $2.16 per mile pays $2,372. Rate per mile falls as hauls get longer while revenue per load rises — so sorting a load board by RPM selects your lowest-paying freight. What 52,000 booked loads reveal about how freight is priced.
- [Freight Market Report, Q2 2026: Rates by Equipment Type](https://truxx.ai/blog/freight-market-report-q2-2026) — Box truck rates hit $3.09/mi after seven straight quarters of gains. Dry van looks like it's up 57% — it isn't. What 6,422 booked loads say about the market this quarter, and the one rule that decides whether any per-mile rate means anything.
- [How Truck Drivers and Trucking Companies Can Handle the 2024 Recession and Get Ready for 2025](https://truxx.ai/blog/how-truck-drivers-handle-recession-2025) — As we reach the end of 2024, the economy is still tough, but there are signs that things might start improving in 2025.
