Overview

AI-generated overview

Gives an assistant modeled US truckload freight rate estimates for any lane, 8 truck types, with monthly history since 2003.

What you can do
  • Estimate lane rates: total price, low/high range, rate per mile, fuel share, miles and transit days for a full truckload
  • Review rate history: month-by-month lane prices and per-mile history for national or state-level freight
  • Compare market averages: national per-mile rates with 1, 3 and 12-month changes, 52-week high/low, and outbound/inbound rates for lower-48 states
  • Look up fuel and equipment: US on-highway diesel prices and the truck types priced, with deck size, capacity and pallet count
  • Resolve places: find US cities by name prefix or ZIP codes by leading digits
When to use it
Useful when someone needs a quick ballpark on what shipping a full truckload between two US places costs, wants to know whether today's rate is high or low against history, or needs national and state per-mile benchmarks and diesel prices for freight budgeting.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key, environment variables or headers declared. Network access to the provider's endpoint is required.
Before you install
All figures are modeled estimates of all-in price, not quotes, and should not be treated as binding prices; the server directs users to a separate quote page for firm pricing. No authentication is declared, so requests are presumably unauthenticated and may be logged by the provider.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Lane Cost freight rates in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.lanecost%2Ffreight-rates/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
