Results published today by the Canadian General Freight Index (CGFI) indicate that the Total Cost of ground transportation for Canadian Shippers increased by 1.4% in August, as compared with July results.
The Base Rate Index, which excludes the impact of Accessorial Charges assessed by carriers, increased by 1.8% in August.
Average Fuel Surcharges assessed by Carriers increased this month. Fuel was 11.27% of Base Rates in August versus 10.61% in July.
“Total Freight Costs increased by 1.4% from last month driven by an increase in Domestic & Cross Border Truckload, Cross Border LTL & fuel charges while Domestic LTL declined. Base Freight costs increased by 1.8%” said Doug Payne, President & COO, Nulogx. “Year over year, Cross Border LTL remains significantly above last years level while all other sectors are below last year,” continued Payne.
