Fuel Surcharge
In short
Fuel surcharge is an extra fee on top of the rate when diesel gets more expensive.
In plain words
It's like pizza delivery in a downpour.
Same pizza, pricier delivery, because conditions are different.
Same here: diesel goes up, and the carrier charges extra for every mile.
You'll mostly see it in contracts with direct customers.
On one-off broker loads, it's usually already built into a single rate.
