Freight Rates From St Paul to Minot Draw Protest
The Interstate Commerce Commission is likely to review what appears to be excessive freight charges from St Paul to Minot. A 30 pound stationery shipment cost 1.10, close to mall rate, after a protest showed a 100 pound rate set at 1.10. Local St Paul Grand Forks rates are 61 cents per 100 pounds, Minot via Grand Forks 63 cents with 25 cent minimum, enabling cheaper indirect routing. The case could reach the ICC, with action possible but not guaranteed.
