The high cost of diesel fuel has introduced significant new risks to the transportation costs involved in bringing goods to companies for their inventories. Higher diesel prices put real pressure on the operating budgets of transportation companies.<\/p>\n
Fuel costs aren’t the only expense rising, since the higher total value of cargo being transported increases related costs as well. More investment tied up in inventory affects commercial insurance needs, and the potential financial impact of a business interruption is greater than it was when fuel prices were lower.<\/p>\n
Transportation carriers may respond by changing routes, reducing shipment frequency, consolidating loads, or more tightly managing fleet utilization. Shipments may be delayed due to these logistical adjustments.<\/p>\n
Transportation companies are evaluated on several factors, including financial stability, cash flow, and claims history. Companies that are financially weaker or considered riskier to insure may find it harder to secure adequate commercial coverage for their loads.<\/p>\n
