Fuel Surcharge Calculations for Road/Highway:
Carlile charges a fuel surcharge based on the West Coast Average price of Diesel Fuel, as reported each
Monday (Tuesday in the event Monday is a holiday) by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The schedule for the fuel surcharge is shown below. For each one cent increment (or portion of one cent),
the fuel surcharge increases an additional 0.1 percentage point.
This fuel surcharge is to be applied to the gross freight charges, excluding all charges for product
transfer, standby time, detention, demurrage, consolidation, advance charges or other accessorial charges.
It applies to all rates unless otherwise specifically provided for by contract.
Example: Given a West Coast Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Price of $2.249 per gallon, using the table, the
fuel price is At Least $2.24 But Less Than $2.25. The Fuel Surcharge would then be 16.6% effective
that Wednesday.
The Fuel Surcharge will be adjusted and effective each Wednesday if necessary. The effective Fuel Surcharge is
based on the West Coast Average price of Diesel Fuel as reported by the Energy Information Administration
(of the US Department of Energy) on the prior Monday at 4:00PM Eastern Time. In the event of a Monday holiday,
the average price is reported on Tuesday.
