Fuel Surcharge Index has developed a tool for the transportation
industry that’s literally revolutionizing the way trucking
companies and truck owner operators calculate fuel surcharges.
The system uses Local Fuel Prices instead of national or regional
pricing averages for surcharge pricing. This means drivers and
load dispatchers can use the price of diesel along a freight lane
to determine a surcharge rate. This way, they are accurately
calculating prices according to where a specific load will run.
Their services include Cost-Per-Gallon analysis by Run Lane, Run
Radius or Interstate Run. The best part is that they offer their
Run Lane Calculator at no charge to all users. The goal is to help
trucking companies and truck drivers/owner operators save
money with accurate fuel surcharges.
Very easy to use, all one has to do is type in the origin and
destination, and it quickly finds the prices of diesel along the
freight route to generate a price average along that route. This
is significantly more accurate for rate determination than using
a national or regional average.
If your serious about saving money, check out their Diesel Fuel
Calculator for accurate fuel surcharges.
