The ongoing conflict in Iran has significantly disrupted global oil markets, pushing U.S. diesel prices to multi-year highs. As a result, Janco is activating the fuel surcharge provision written into your service agreement. This page explains exactly how it works, what you can expect on your invoice, and where every number comes from.
The Iran conflict tightened Persian Gulf oil supply. U.S. on-highway diesel has risen over $1.50/gallon compared to one year ago. This is a market reality, not a Janco decision.
Your service agreement includes a fuel surcharge provision that protects both parties when diesel moves materially from the baseline rate. Nothing has been added or changed.
$0.01 per mile for every $0.05 increase over your contract base. The diesel figure comes directly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly on-highway survey.
Sourced from the EIA's weekly retail survey — the same data used to calculate your surcharge. Updated every Monday.
Enter your contract's base diesel price and your weekly mileage to estimate the surcharge. All outputs are estimates for planning purposes only.

This clause is included in your Janco service agreement exactly as written. Nothing has been added or changed.
Diesel prices have increased by more than $1.50/gallon year-over-year. Fuel is one of our largest operating costs. The surcharge provision exists precisely for this situation — to protect the viability of our service when market conditions shift dramatically and beyond our control.
For every $0.05 that diesel rises above your contract's base price, a $0.01/mile surcharge applies. At the current national average of ~$5.375 against a $3.766 base, that's 32 increments = $0.32/mile. The calculator above lets you run your own numbers.
We reference the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly on-highway diesel report — the federal government's official fuel benchmark, updated every Monday. Historical trend data is also available via YCharts.
Yes. The surcharge is recalculated every week based on the current EIA price. It decreases as prices fall and disappears entirely once diesel returns to your contract's base price. We have no interest in charging more than the contract specifies.
Per your agreement, mileage is determined by Janco's PC Miler system — the trucking industry's standard routing platform. PC Miler figures are objective, consistent, and widely accepted as the benchmark for freight billing across the industry.
