Saudi land freight boosts unofficial intermediaries
The rapid growth in demand for land transportation services in Saudi Arabia, driven by geopolitical tensions and the country's shift to becoming a major logistical hub, has led to the emergence of unregulated intermediaries and illegal trucks operating outside legal frameworks. This phenomenon has resulted in higher transportation costs, with freight prices between Dammam and Jeddah rising from 4-5 thousand to around 11,000 riyals. Consequently, unlicensed middlemen offering cheaper services have entered the market, unfairly impacting it. These practices lead to unfair competition and pose challenges to sector stability, prompting calls for increased oversight and intervention to regulate the market and protect legitimate companies.
