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.
