Results published today by the Canadian General Freight Index (CGFI) indicate that the Total Cost of ground transportation for Canadian Shippers increased by 1.9% in February, as compared with January results.
The Base Rate Index, which excludes the impact of Accessorial Charges assessed by carriers, increased by 1.1 % in February.
Average Fuel Surcharges assessed by Carriers decreased this month. Fuel was 17.35% of Base Rates in February versus 17.61% in January.
“Total Freight Costs increased by 1.9% from last month driven by an increase in base rates in February, despite a drop in fuel charges,” said Doug Payne, President & COO, Nulogx. “All sectors increased with Cross Border LTL rates increasing sharply for the 5th straight month. Year over year, Cross Border LTL remains well above last years level. Domestic LTL & Cross Border TL remain below last year, while Domestic TL is ahead of last years level,” continued Payne.
