Trucking industry says it will not absorb greater port costs

Trucking industry says it will not absorb greater port costs

Quote:

DP World’s decision to operate on Sunday will cause a spike in transport costs, which the trucking industry argues must be passed on in the supply chain.
Chief Executive of the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) Phil Lovel says DP World’s decision to receive, deliver and store freight on Sundays will result in staged movements of containers.
He says exporters work less over the weekend, meaning containers will need to be taken to transport yards to await secondary delivery.
