Fuel Surcharge????

some companies have their own formula for FSC, other co. factor in a FSC for that particular trip, if their is one.

 

There is a formula for fuel surcharge, and I don't remember what it is right now. It's not based on mpg though. You buy the fuel, but the FSC is added to your base rate for a load.

I know there will be some others in that will be able to clarify this a bit better for you!

 

If you are thinking the company pays for the fuel you use (thats the way I read your question) your wishful wanting. NO company pays and O/O fuel bill. Its just a percentage based on the US National Average Diesel Fuel Index

If ya ever find one lemme know, I want in lol

 

You should get the load pay PLUS the FSC. Our FSC right now is around 65 cpm.

 

But becareful they say they pay 100% FSC but if the national avrage is 50 cent they might pay 35 so they are getting 15 cent off the top of the FSC...It would be best to keep track of the us national FSC website EVERYWEEK and that gives you some levarge room when dealing with them

 

The $1100 should be separate from the fuel surcharge. SHOULD be. As far as Landstar goes, you are at the mercy of the agent who booked the load.

In reality, brokers who push internet loadboard freight want an all-in flat rate quote. The second "fuel surcharge" leaves your lips, they're hanging up the phone.
