The trucking industry has seen dramatic increases in diesel fuel prices.
As a result of these increases as reflected in the West Coast On-highway
Self Service Diesel Price published by the U.S. Department of Energy, Peninsula
Truck Lines’ fuel surcharge became effective on March 1, 2000. The applicable
fuel surcharge is presented in the table below. Different scales apply to Less-Than-Truckload
(“LTL”) and Truckload (“TL”) shipments. Effective
July 23, 2008, the fuel surcharge will be
37.50% for LTL
shipments and 41.50%
for Truckload shipments. (History of
Peninsula Truck Lines fuel surcharge.)
The West Coast Average On-highway Diesel Price is announced each Monday and it will be utilized
to determine the applicable fuel surcharge that will be adjusted up or down on the succeeding
Wednesday. This index may be obtained by calling the U.S. Department of Energy at 202-586-6066
(24 hours per day) or on their
Internet site.
The fuel surcharge will be shown as a separate entry on our freight bill and will be applied to
all freight charges, but not special accessorial service charges.
