Nebraska IFTA Rates & Trucking Overview 2026

Nebraska at 27.7¢/gal is competitive in the Midwest, particularly compared to Iowa (32.5¢) to the east and Kansas (26.0¢) to the south. Omaha is a top-15 US freight market and one of the most important rail-truck interchange points in North America — Union Pacific and BNSF both have major operations here. The I-80 corridor across Nebraska is one of the highest truck-volume stretches of highway in the US.

Major Nebraska Trucking Routes

I-80 (Denver CO–Omaha–Iowa City IA, primary east-west artery), I-76 (Denver–I-80 junction near Kimball), I-29 (Kansas City–Sioux Falls SD, Missouri River corridor), US-20 (Sioux City–Valentine, northern tier)
