FUEL SURCHARGE

OUR CUSTOMER CONNECTION SERVICES

WHAT IS A FUEL SURCHARGE?

In the transportation industry, fuel is one of the most significant operational costs, and its price is subject to frequent fluctuations. Our fuel surcharge (FSC) is a responsive measure that aligns with the ever-changing costs of diesel fuel.

This surcharge is an adaptive fee that helps manage the variable costs of fuel, a major factor in the transportation and logistics industry.

FUEL SURCHARGE CALCULATIONS FOR ROAD/HIGHWAY

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 calculating 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 (FSC) rate 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: If the West Coast Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Price of $2.249 per gallon, using the table, the fuel prices 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 take effect each Wednesday if necessary, based on the average price reported the prior Monday at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. If Monday is a holiday, the average price will be reported on Tuesday.
