Fuel Surcharges
In today's trucking, fuel surcharges are necessary for trucking companies, owner operators and truck drivers to survive. With the constant increases in the price of fuel, carriers and owner operators must implement compensatory fuel surcharges. In Canada, fuel surcharges are calculated as a percent increase over the base diesel fuel price of 39.0 cents per litre. Most Canadian carriers use the Freight Carriers Association of Canada, "Canadian Domestic Fuel Calculation", as the index to calculate the percent over base fuel surcharges.
