The impact of the transport route on the cost of the transfer

Abstract

The shipping cost is not the same for each freight transport unit, as a lot of factors influence the cost of transport. An important aspect, apart from cost inputs, which decides how high the cost of shipping is the destination where the shipment is made. The aim of this contribution is to point out the necessity of setting the cost of transport based on a dynamic cost calculation, because many carriers do not calculate the costs and the shipping price is determined by competition. The aim of the paper is also to verify the hypothesis that it is economically incorrect to use one unit price for all transports carried out by the carrier. In the analytical part, the contribution will present an economically correct procedure for compiling the transport price. In the next part the contribution verifies the established hypothesis on specific model transports.
