Official data, side by side
Lane scorecard
Choose where the lane starts and where it ends. The scorecard puts the federal numbers for the two states in one table: modeled truck freight between them, regional diesel, the worst weather month, parking scarcity and roadside out-of-service rates. It is a planning view of the two ends, not a price for the lane.

Diesel is a regional retail pump average (EIA publishes PADD regions, and California on its own), not a state price and not a fuel-card price. Weather is the mean number of days a month with at least one recorded event of that kind; it measures reporting as well as weather, and a long state blurs several climates. Out-of-service shares come from the state that inspected, and inspectors target, so they are not a ranking of carriers. FAF6 shows modeled annual flows between states, not demand now and not a rate. Parking median across states with data: 102.9 spaces per 100,000 daily truck miles.
How to use it
- Use the diesel gap to see which end is cheaper to fuel, then plan the fill there. It does not replace your fuel-card prices.
- A worse weather month at one end is a reason to build slack into that month's schedule. See the season planner for all twelve months.
- Scarce parking at the destination end is a reason to plan the end of the driving window before you arrive.
- If the pair is in the FAF6 top 200, freight moves between the two states in volume. If it is not, that says nothing about your lane: the table lists only the largest 200 state pairs.
