It begins.......prices in select cities going up.
Well with all the defund the police talk, and civil unrest happening in some places it was bound to happen.
Companies are refusing to send drivers to deliver or pickup loads in any city that has or is talking about defunding police.
Other cities are more lucky. They will only have to pay extra to have food and supplies delivered. Companies are adding a "Dangerous Location " fee to ever load going to some areas.
The fee is to
1) mitigate the insurance risk( keeps insurance rate low) of loss of equipment and cargo.
2) pay drivers for the extra risk and stress of delivery to " Dangerous Location(s)". The Danger pay is being paid per drop.
Generally that means any delivery with in a 100 mile radius of the city center.
An example would be if Toronto was on the list. The radius would cover a large part of Central ontario.
From about London on the west to Bellville in the east. Fort Erie in the south to north of Barrie.
If Buffalo NY goes on the list things will be interesting...
Not to bad.. work for four days get paid for seven or eight.
But the prices are going to go wild.
