please clarify your question
you mean how shipping companies come up with the costs they charge the consumer? or you mean how much does it cost to run a shipping ocmpany?
usually the costs are determined bu the particular good being shipped, how far, and the mode of transportation to get it there.
a piano shipped overnight cross country by airplane may not be the cheapest thing to move, but it is possible. the costs go up, because airplanes use more gas for weight, and they cant carry the thousands of little packages that would be in the place the piano is taking up on the plane... not to mention the extra workers who have to put down what they are doing to load and unload the plane.
when it comes to the cost of running the company, its simple, the overhead costs -expendatures = the bottom line.
it really doesnt cost that much to ship a package, thats why the post does so well, billions of dollars one stamp at a time, the reason fedex, and ups charge so much is because half off the top goes to insurance, insurance for the trucks, and planes, but also for the packages. after time many of the larger shipping compaies can boond themselves, fedex, and ups, but the smaller companies still have to pay.

What happens if the property Title Insurance Co goes out of business?
A Title Company (the actual insurancer as in First American, Chicago, etc.) is regulated by a state's Department of Insurance. If the company dissolved, then they would have to follow the state's guidelines for closing. This is why a title company has to prove so much in reserves, liquidity, etc. to a state to even do business in a state. Typically, title companies are sold or bought out before they would ever go out of business. A Title Agency (the local agent who has an agency agreement with a title Company) must keep separate accounts for escrows/trust accounts. Ideally, if an agency closed its doors, all accounts would be reconciled and it could shut down with all Policies issued. If an agency shuts down and does not have the above issued addressed at the time of closing, the title company will complete the same, issue the Policies, etc. of the Agent/Agency or they may assign the same to another one of their Agents to be completed. Since ultimately it is the title company that is responsible for the issuance of the insurance, it is their responsibility to make sure that all policies sold by the agent are properly issued.
