From the point I have seen it, the cost of fuel has kept freight costs up. I seem to be paying premium prices for rushed delivery and it takes several more days than quoted. Suppliers and logistics companies have told me that they try to wait for a fuller load to ship with. That keeps the costs down some. But in short, I don’t see a lot of improvement.
