This document discusses freight costs in Canada from 2008 to 2010 and provides a forecast for 2011. It summarizes the Canadian General Freight Index, which tracks monthly over-the-road freight costs including base charges, fuel surcharges, and other fees. Freight costs increased in 2008 but declined in 2009 as the economy slowed. Costs have risen again in 2010 as the economy recovers. Fuel surcharges have stabilized around 13-16% of costs. If the economic recovery continues gradually, the author forecasts that general freight rates will increase 3-5% annually through 2011, while fuel surcharges remain steady.
