GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES ‘PROFIT RATE’ FREIGHT TABLE BY TRUCKERS

The Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Freitas, proposed in a meeting this week with entities of the productive sector, which intends to publish again the freight table. The idea is that the rates vary according to the segment traveled and the sector. Under the proposal, which arose from the autonomous truck drivers, the freight contracting companies would mediate with the leaders of the carriers, around the idea of the profit rate. Shippers, from different segments such as fuel, beverages, industry and agribusiness, were left unanswered if they would accept the fee at an upcoming meeting scheduled for next week.
