Over the last few years fuel prices have increased significantly. Fuel has historically been a small percentage of the total operation cost of a truck. With recent increases, however, it has become a major part of our costing strategy. The transportation industry has turned to fuel surcharges to lessen the burden of this somewhat unpredictable cost. As of August 31, 2005, we will also implement a fuel surcharge on all services. A letter outlining this change was mailed to current customers. The industry standard for determining surcharges has been the EIA/DOE weekly fuel price index. The calculation we will be using is based on the Midwest average for the previous month. Referencing this average to our surcharge percentage chart shows what rate will be applied. Please note that a 3.25% Environmental Recovery Fee is added to the Fuel Surcharge. This covers additional landfill fees and government reporting costs. This fee is not a government imposed tax or surcharge. |
