Fuel Surcharge – What Is It?

A Fuel Surcharge is like a restaurant adding a small fee when ingredient prices go up—it’s an extra charge added to the transport cost to account for fluctuating fuel prices.

Think of it as a built-in gas price adjustment—since fuel costs change frequently, carriers apply a surcharge to cover unexpected increases in diesel or gasoline prices.

Example:
A carrier is shipping a car from Atlanta to Los Angeles, and fuel prices have risen significantly. To compensate, the transport company adds a fuel surcharge of $50 to the total shipping cost. 🚛⛽💰
