At the same time, the rate in the most popular areas has increased by an average of 38% per year and 10% in the last three months. This dynamic is associated with the accelerated substitution of imports and the formation of new production chains.

According to Kirill Latinsky, commercial director of SOTA Logistic, domestic transport has risen in price by 15-20%, which, in his opinion, is due to the shortage of category E drivers (26% of drivers are missing). , as well as lack of equipment.
“The shortage of personnel causes an increase in wages, and now it is not easy to find drivers for long-distance highways, even for 190-200 thousand rubles. The share of personnel costs in transport is about 25-30% “explains Latin.
