Global forwarder DB Schenker will increase U.S. domestic rates effective March 1.   The rate increase will affect U.S. domestic and trans-border shipments between the United States, Canada and Mexico using the company’s integrated domestic network. It will be the first general domestic rate increase for U.S. customers since 2005.   Schenker, which runs the former BAX Global integrated freight network in the United States, said the rate changes vary by product and range from no increase for guaranteed first arrival and one-day saver, to an average of 4 percent for ground products and 6 percent for air products along with select accessorial fees.   “This increase is necessary at this time to enable us to continue operating at the levels that our customers have come to expect,” said Schenker CEO Heiner Murmann.   The Journal of Commerce Online
