Domestic Truckload Increases

Results published today by the Canadian General Freight Index (CGFI) indicate that the Total Cost of ground transportation for Canadian Shippers increased by 1.0% in January when compared with December results.
The Base Rate Index, which excludes the impact of Accessorial Charges assessed by carriers, increased 1.1% when compared to December.
Average Fuel Surcharges assessed by Carriers decreased this month. Fuel was 12.09% of Base Rates in January versus 13.03% in December.
“Overall, Total Freight Costs increased the first time since August of 2015,” said Doug Payne, President & COO, Nulogx. “The increase was driven by Domestic Truckload. Year over Year, Domestic LTL and Truckload remain in negative territory, while Cross Border Truckload and LTL are positive,” continued Payne.
