CHANGED.
The ongoing turmoil affecting global oil markets has pushed diesel prices to record highs. As a result, fuel surcharges are becoming a more common occurence. This page was created to assist in projecting those potential costs.
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.
Mileage is generated by PC Miler — the trucking industry's standard routing platform.
