Fuel Surcharge

I don't. I have a # I'll run for all in. Take it, or no.

 

If I recall correctly, LTL FSC is calculated as a % of the "linehaul" rate. TL shipments are calculated at a per mile rate based off of the DOE weekly diesel prices. Hope this is helpful. Going off of past experience that I have been removed from for several years now. I believe this to be correct though. Someone please correct me if wrong though.

 

Ooida has a FSC calculator.

 

Mine as a percentage based on the price of fuel.
I got the table on some government website.

 

Only matters on contract freight. No one on spot market cares and it is an all for one rate. You can break it down I guess but it is no reason to as the broker would only move it for what it will move for regardless. Supply & demand at its best.

 

One company I leased for. Broke it down at $.50 per mile.

That was around 2011. Fuel was about $4.25.

FSC was talked about alot on this forum back then.

As mentioned above. Most loads are a flat rate. If it don't suit your dollar per mile. Don't haul it.

 

As @Siinman said
Won’t matter in most cases if you’re running on your own
I’m leased and I give the company a % of line haul but I get all fsc and extras so the fsc being separated makes me more $
They also use some number they get each Monday for a per mile fsc rate

It’s been over $1 at times and this past week I think it was $0.80 per mile?
