Fuel Surcharge
-
Fuel continues to fluctuate dramatically over the past three years. Diesel prices continue to exceed gasoline prices. For a detailed look at fuel prices in the United States, go to http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp.
We have changed our fuel surcharge as shown in the chart below. We will continue to monitor diesel prices and lower, raise or eliminate our surcharge as needed.

04/26/10 6.00%Our fuel surcharge peaked at 6.9% in May 2008. Our competition has had fuel surcharges as high as 19.0%. We did not institute a fuel surcharge until September 2005 after fuel costs had doubled for our company from January 2004.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please call me. I can provide you with our company’s fuel pricing history since 2004 to clarify why we are charging a fuel surcharge and hopefully answer any other questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you for your business and understanding.
