I shipped freight just yesterday from LA to MA / 265lbs. The cost was higher than it was in August; they claim labor costs are up.

They also raised the cost of lift gates for residential from $175 on each end to $245 each end. That is on top of transit, and insurance costs.

The answer to your question is yes, other continents are costing more as well.

Forward Air is still reasonable in this regard at least. I have an LTL load being picked up here, residential, tomorrow afternoon....

Residential pickup fee and
Residential liftgate......both still $45 each

Same on the destination end....so $90 at source and destination...

Fuel and carriage have definitely seen increases from prior quotes for similar distances, class, dimensions and weight.

Just starting their break in period… already appreciating more clarity, blacker background, more relentless drive, and increased sound stage compared to a pair of A70s. Courtesy of Ivan :thumbsup:
