Oregon Railroad Commission cuts Wells Fargo express rates
Salem July 14 A sweeping reduction of all Wells Fargo express rates in Oregon was ordered by the railroad commission yesterday and will take effect 24 days after service on the company. The average cut is about 60 percent with specific drops from Portland to various cities and a general move toward uniform state rates across merchandise and general rates. The investigation spanned over a year and compares Wells Fargo figures with other express services to justify the reductions. The order also aligns with a prior Pacific Express cut to create statewide uniformity, potentially triggering further rate changes beyond Wells Fargo.
