Default Re: Shortage of truck drivers in Australia?

Something that amazes me is how low freight costs are - it's obviously unsustainable.

It only cost me like $35 to have something over 20kg picked up from 75km away and delivered via a truck.

Or with Startrack Express it's $15+ GST to send something up to 5KG nationally by air freight.

It gets picked up, put on a plane, then picked up at the opposite end and delivered for $16.50 including the Government's cut.
