In today’s economy of rising prices it is uncanny to consider a service that has decreased in price. Non-bulk freight rates in Australia have been steadily declining over the past 50 years. While shipping prices are more expensive than they were 50 years ago, the cost of shipping these days provides more logistical control and very cost effective solutions and pricing.

Road Rates

Since 1965, the rates shippers have paid to move merchandise in Australia has dropped by almost 50 percent. The major reason for this drop in freight rates is the technological advancement.

Trucks in the early 1960s were quite small and stiff requiring numerous runs to get all the freight to its required location. Today trucks are larger, more pliable and more fuel-efficient. As a result of this, more freight can be moved faster and lower cost to the shipping company.

With roads throughout Australia are also better paved and well maintained, wider, and better than in the 1960s, the results of this is that freight can be moved faster over these well-structured and multi-laned roads.

Rail freight shipping has improved a dramatically with technology improving at a rapid rate. Tracks, train engines and merchandise containers have all improved contributing to faster delivery and lower prices. The track network as extensive as it is provides better access to points around the country with strong and sleeker tracks allowing trains to move faster along their lines

Container structures have also improved. They are lighter and stronger, easy to pack and easy to stack. The lighter loads provide a faster delivery whilst the stronger containers allow for less merchandise damage.
