[QUOTE="bkgs, post: 745159, member: 13770"] This is my understanding of freight costs John Pullis Presque Isle County Extension 151 East Huron Avenue, PO Box 110 Rogers City, Michigan 49779-0110 United States 989/734-2168 989/734-4116 John, I would like to ask if I can speak with you about getting a thorough understanding of freight costs for turkey or if you can direct me to somebody to speak about freight costs in the turkey industry. What I am looking at is: Estimated Freight cost Local: 1 - 2 cents per pound (A short run or no run to a processor or location) Detroit to Kalamazoo: 3 cents per pound (140 miles) No data 140 miles to 730 miles Detroit to Omaha: 8 cents per pound (730 miles) Detroit to Florida: 10 cents per pound (1,150 miles) Detroit to Maine: can be estimated as is 900 miles No data 1,150 to 2,263 miles Detroit to Seattle: No data ( 2,263 miles) Detroit to San Diego: No data ( 2,275 miles) Maybe you can see what I going for here, get some standard distances so I can approximate the rest of the distances freight costs. I would like to find out what the price points, cents per pound would be between Kalamazoo and Omaha or from 140 miles to 730 miles and between Florida and Seatle/San Diego or 1,150 miles to 2,260 miles from Detroit. Richmond, Virginia to San Francisco California (2,435 miles) Augusta, Maine to San Diego California: No data (2,644 miles) Seatle, Washington to Miami, Florida: No data (2,732 miles) The whole country from the atlantic to pacific I was told 15 cents per pound but this particular price per pound I think assumes inclusive beginning location at an interior location in the united states to a final location at the other ocean so I think this is really a price for 3/4 of the country shipping or 75% of the country shipping. 75% of 2,435 miles is 1,826 miles. So 15 cents per pound ( 1,826 miles) I would like to ask if this would be for 3/4 or to ship 100% from the atlantic to pacific. I don't have the contract fulfilled, I am looking to get an estimate of freight costs before contracting so I don't have a set location to ship from, also I want to have a thorough understanding of freight costs in the contiguous united states. All the estimates I have are for cattle and I am looking for turkey freight costs. I would like to know how applicable the cattle estimates are to turkey and how they differ. Could I speak with you about this or direct me to somebody to speak with about freight costs so I can get a thorough understanding of freight costs in the turkey industry. I will follow up later Monday morining, March 15th to see if I can speak with you about this or direct me to somebody to speak with about freight costs in the turkey industry. Thanky you! [/QUOTE]
