The economy and its effects on your transport
With the rising price of crude oil and higher unemployment rates, many industries our hurting. Some specifically are retailers and the transportation business. Like refiners, transporters can barely raise their rates fast enough to keep up with the rising costs of fuel. Many trucking companies and carriers are even side lined.
What this could mean to you is expect to pay more for your airline tickets, transporting vehicles and to have a longer wait to get your vehicle or moving household goods picked up, since there are less companies doing business now.
How you can help yourself during this temporary economic downturn is prepare your transport or move well in advance. Also expect to pay a little more to cover the transporters increased fuel costs. You should also scrutinize who you do business with a little more carefully.
