Anyone else grateful for the fuel surcharges?

I don’t view it as a separate item in my figuring.

Do take note that the fuel discount stops at $850 on the pump - check your Comdata ‘detail summary’ - and you’ll see.

 

Fuel surcharge is a concept for a way to pay the difference in fuel cost for a load that is calculated from a base fuel cost and average MPG.

As I recall from ancient history most are based on About 6 mpg for the truck as a generic average, average MPG is one of those things negotiated at the freight contract, along with the base fuel cost. If you do less than the "average MPG " The FSC will not be sufficient. Better than "average MPG" = more profit.

FSC is a way to make it so simple even the office monkeys can figure it out.

 

I’ve been making out like a fat rat the way our fuel surcharge is paid. The company I haul for pays it by the ton. With fuel between 6 and 6.50 it’s 3 bucks a ton. The run I’ve been on the last 3 months I get 6 or 7 rounds a day and hauling between 29 and 31 tons.
