Price has doubled in 8 hours. How do they justify that??? Yeah, yeah, I know - supply & demand. Nevertheless, when we were running trucks the price never varied from one month to the next so the deal for Joe Public smacks of exploitation. |
I read somewhere about clearing browser history after being on some websites, because if it recognised you when returning, the price would be higher.....
But you’re right, freight prices seem to be fixed for the season, except for the emissions / fuel ‘surcharge’ that can vary a small percentage.
