How are prices for the goods TRUCKING

Road mode of transport is one of the most maneuverable, flexible and able to deliver the goods on time from door to door. Cars are able to carry the widest range of assortment of goods and enjoy very high popularity among shippers and consignees. So today I would like to dwell particularly on the factors affecting the pricing of road transport.

Thus, when viewed superficially, the prices for AutoShip may be a little overpriced compared to other transport modes. This is due primarily to the high cost of energy resources, as well as a relatively small carrying capacity of a transport unit. The cost of any transport by road is made up of fuel prices, pay the driver, amortization and eventually the net profit or the so-called indicator of profitability of transport. If transportation is claimed oversized, heavy-load or ADRs, the freight costs also include the price of permits and accompanying documents for the movement of cargo. And in the import-export traffic to a joint account is added as the price of insurance services and customs clearance.

Despite this, the freight in Ukraine and abroad has its own paradox: at exactly the same distance and general conditions of carriage service cost of delivery can be different. It all depends on the route and its direction, day of week and time of year, etc.So if you carry the same amount of cargo identical example from Kiev to Kharkov in the opposite direction, then the cost will be different. In the analysis of prices, it can be concluded that the price of transportation from Kiev to Kharkov will be more expensive than shipping from Kharkiv to Kiev about 30%. Here, the thing is known to us from college Supply and demand. The most expensive for shippers and carriers are beneficial to cities such as Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Lviv and Odessa. In these cities due to a number of economic and historical factors (for example, Kiev is the capital and a large distribution center, Dnepropetrovsk – a major industrial powerhouse, Lviv – city, through which the traffic from Europe, and Odessa – the largest sea port) are always a lot of topical cargo for transportation, so shippers and compete who will pay more for all the time missing transport.Conversely, transportation from Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, and so on. N. Will be much more cheaper. In these cities there is no agglomeration of large enterprises or redistributed tional storage depots and warehouses of temporary storage. Therefore, transport, when ingested in these regions is ready to fall significantly in price.Transportation costs are also dependent on the day of the week. At the end of the week ahead of the weekend cars more compliant and willing to provide the low price for transportation to return home. At the beginning of the work week as prices are low because of the need to go to more or less interesting direction for a particular vehicle. Statistics confirm that the highest prices for transportation expose those cars that are loaded from Tuesday to Thursday.

To summarize, I would like to highlight the group of factors that affect the formation of prices for the carriage of goods by road:- Directly the load (its measurement, weight, type of packaging, properties, and composition). Significantly, the transport of dangerous and oversized cargo has a price higher than the transportation of goods that do not possess these qualities;- Number of places for loading and unloading. As a rule, the price surcharge for one additional point of loading-unloading varies between 100 – 300 hryvnia;- Type of load. Transportation, requiring top-loading have higher cost because of the need rastentovka and prepare the vehicle for such loading;- The consignment. If shipping will be carried out on a toll road or a portion thereof, it may affect the formation of the final price;- The need for insurance and customs clearance. Very often at the expense of international traffic include the cost of registration of the export declaration and financial guarantees;- A simple vehicle for loading or unloading. If for any reason the loading or unloading takes longer than agreed, it could lead to an increase in prices for the transport of goods in general.Thus, ordering freight service in the Neolit Logistics, try to provide the most accurate information about the cargo and its properties to ensure that we have formed a price for you, the most advantageous under certain conditions.
