#1 Around 300 heavy vehicles ... oil tanker having a capacity of around 50,000 to 60,000 litres charged at a rate of around Rs12 per litre. ... a 40-foot container charged a fare between Rs200,000 and Rs250,000.

That comes to $430-503 million/year paid to Paki truck transport costs alone. That doesn't take into account stolen merchandise or destroyed trucks/drivers. With US aid over $4 billion last year, the Paki economy relies on keeping the Afghan war going and Obama tripled down on it.
