5 Hidden Costs in Containerised Vehicle Logistics and How Steel Car Racking Eliminates Them?

(12 February, 2026)

On paper, containerised vehicle logistics looks straightforward: one fixed-size container, one freight rate, job done. In reality, however, moving vehicles by container carriers a number of hidden costs that don’t show up on the quote sheet. These costs creep in through slow loading, wasted space, inconsistent handling practices, and reworks at destination. None of these factors are dramatic enough to trigger alarms on their own – they are all part of an operation’s risk profile – but together, they can quickly erode profit margins.
