Regulation of transportation prices, cost of transportation.
Regulation
transport prices happens unpredictably, for example, you need to transport cargo from Russia, Yekaterinburg to Romania: carriers not all countries will agree to perform such transportation. You need a Romanian visa. Transport company from Russia will not go to the region. A transport company from Romania or Moldova will. The question is at what price. If the truck is close to the loading place: it is one price, if the carrier needs to send a truck from other cities the price will be more expensive. Transporting cargo using a tilt-covered truck is cheaper, refrigerator transports, more expensive. The value of the cargo, too, affects the price of transportation.
ADR cargo transportation, more expensive than regular cargo.
Transportation of consolidated goods It will also take more time, additional collection costs. The cost of multimodal transport is the total cost of all modes of transport involved in this transport.
Transportation insurance and responsibility for the cargo being transported.
For all types of freight transport
tilt trucks,
by refrigerators, from different countries, when transporting all kinds of products and raw materials, regardless of the value of the goods or cargo, the shipment or cargo must be insured. The customer can insure the cargo – it is not cheap. Carrier insures its responsibility for transported cargo by CMR insurance, which is much cheaper and safer. The insurance company is also responsible for the cargo.
Analysis of transportation prices: a year ago, today, next year.
Freight prices always depend on all the infrastructure in the world. Higher fuel prices, lack of permits for trucks to enter some countries, untrained human resources i.e. drivers. Inability to cross European countries or Turkey without proper visas. It is possible to determine price fluctuations by following the labor market, and understanding the situation in the world markets of raw materials, fuel, and consumption markets. During 2006, transport prices went up steadily, which led to the opening of new transport companies and the purchase of more trucks, and prices were slightly lowered. From 2007 to 2008, there was a strong increase in consumption in all countries for all commodities, which inevitably led to higher freight costs. In 2009, production and consumption came to a sharp decline, and the cheapening of all modes of freight transport. Further consumption of all resources, increase in production of all industries, creation and increase of jobs, in the future, will determine the pricing policy in the freight market.

In some cases, long waiting time for the cargo.
