The National Agency of Land Transport (ANTT) today released a new table with the minimum values for freight of road loads. The adjustment meets a determination of Law 13,703 / 2018, which establishes new readjustments for the table whenever the price of diesel oil fluctuates more than 10%.
In a note, ANTT reported that the average high values reached 5%, depending on the type of cargo transported. The freight table attends a lawsuit made by the truck drivers during the May deadlocks.
Despite pleasing the truck drivers, the tabulation is criticized by agribusiness leaders. For example, the Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA) brings legal insecurity to agribusiness, in addition to raising activity costs.
According to the entity, before the table comes into force, the cost of transportation, leaving Sorriso (Mato Grosso) bound for Santos (São Paulo), was R $ 290 per ton. After the table, this value increased by 120%, to R $ 637.10 per ton with a return freight charge.
The figures for freight are also under discussion in the Federal Supreme Court (STF), but Minister Luiz Fux has not yet given a definite opinion on the issue.
