Ever received a quote for hauling a load from the U.S.
to Mexico that amounted to well over US$3 per mile?
It might seem like a ripoff, but there are reasons for
the higher per-mile rates. In a recent blog post, Roxana
Osuna looks at some factors behind Mexico’s higher cost
structure (think added security expenses, higher diesel
prices, and seasonal capacity shortages) and explains
why U.S. shippers should avoid the temptation to try
to negotiate more “acceptable” rates. Read it at blogs.
