Transporters said in addition to easy availability of trucks, restricted cargo movements pulled down some centres' freight rates.
Delhi to Goa, Guwahati and Mumbai rates dropped by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 49,000, Rs 50,000 and Rs 26,000, respectively.
Elsewhere, other centres' freight rates managed to hold overnight levels on some support.
Following are today's freights per nine-tonne load (in Rs):
