You should see the import container rates, dry van went up from $2500 to $5000 for me, but the container rates went from $3500 to $20,000 and you will get it when you get it (dont call dont inquires you will get it when it shows up). Basically you will take ant LIKE IT!
I'm waiting on a lathe and when I ordered it freight was going to be $200. I just wondering if it will go up.
I hope not but I'd be prepared for it.
Some commentary would be useful to me. So the trend was down until June then started shooting up. Why? Is it people shortage? Truck shortage?
"Companies are short of truck drivers and plant workers while goods continue to get held up moving through ports. Supermarkets are sometimes receiving as little as 40% of what they order compared with pre-pandemic days when they got well over 90%, executives have said."
The lowest van rate per mile I see this morning out of L.A. is $3.25, highest is $7.39. It's 0630 on a Friday, today's hot freight hasn't even posted yet.

With some 60 container cargo ships idling at the entrance of the port complex last week, traffic congestion in the San Pedro Bay shows no signs of letting up.
The Port of Los Angeles processed 954,377 twenty-foot equivalent units of cargo last month, about the same as in August 2020 and a 10.8% increase from 861,080 TEUs it moved during the same period in 2019.
Imports reached 485,672 TEUs, a 6% decrease compared to August 2020.
The cargo volume for the first eight months of the year at the port added up to 7.27 million TEUs, an increase of 30.3% compared to the same period in 2020.
In September, the port is expecting about 930,000 TEUs, compared to about 880,000 last year. October figures to be busy too. Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka put next month’s forecast at 950,000 TEUs.
