CHANGED.
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.
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 fuel basis, a $0.01/mile surcharge applies. The calculator below lets you run your own numbers using your specific fuel basis and current mileage.
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 fuel basis. 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.
