What countries does TruckingRates cover?

TruckingRates covers 8 countries: Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, and Colombia. All country-specific data — fuel prices, toll networks, driver wages, FX rates, and port dwell times — is updated weekly.

How often is the data updated?

Fuel prices, FX rates, and port dwell times are refreshed weekly. Toll costs and driver wages are reviewed quarterly or when official rate changes are published. Border crossing wait-time data is updated in real time by users sharing delay reports.

How accurate are the toll estimates?

Toll estimates are based on official concession tariffs for each vehicle class. For major corridors with known toll plazas (Bogotá–Medellín, Guatemala City–Puerto Barrios, Cartagena–Bogotá), costs are calculated plaza by plaza. For routes without full plaza data, a per-km estimate based on country averages is used, with a confidence indicator shown on every result.

How much does TruckingRates cost?

TruckingRates is priced to your freight spend — typically around 1% of what you move, a fraction of the savings we surface. Pricing is sized in a freight cost audit. Contact sales@truckingrates.org.

Know exactly how much you're overpaying on freight

We rebuild the real cost of your active lanes — tolls, fuel, driver, port dwell, border delays and the empty return — line by line, in USD. Then we show you exactly where you're overpaying.

12% average overpayment we found auditing a global ocean carrier's 10 Central American corridors — invisible in every quote, and likely hiding in yours.

Detect overpriced quotes before you approve them Trucking quotes are often opaque, rely on outdated data, and are built on experience that may no longer apply. Identify those gaps before you sign off.

Price border uncertainty into every route A single unexpected 24-hour border delay costs $300–600 in driver time and holding charges. See delay exposure by crossing before the truck leaves.

See your overpayment on real lanes — not hypotheticals We measure overpayment on your actual active lanes, corridor by corridor — the same method behind the 12% we found auditing a global ocean carrier's regional network. You see the number before you commit.
