The price of diesel fuel is a large factor in the cost of moving freight over the road, and fuel prices have been increasing at a steady rate. When fuel prices rise, Galto Trucking & Logistics applies a Fuel Surcharge, a percentage of the total freight bill to the total of the invoice. When fuel prices lower Galto Trucking & Logistics reduces the charges by a specified amount.   We adjust the surcharge on Wednesday based upon the U.S. National Average Fuel Index of the prior Monday.   The fuel index, published by the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy, is available on the world wide web at: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesel.asp Or via telephone at: 202-586-6966   The table below gives the rates that the fuel surcharge will be charged at based upon the national average.    When the U.S. National Average Diesel Fuel Index is: At Least But Less Than Fuel Surcharge Will Be: 110.0 cents 115.0 cents 1.0% 115.0 cents 120.0 cents 2.0% 120.0 cents 125.0 cents 3.0% 125.0 cents 130.0 cents 4.0% 130.0 cents 135.0 cents 4.5% 135.0 cents 140.0 cents 5.0% 140.0 cents 145.0 cents 5.5% 145.0 cents 150.0 cents 6.0% 150.0 cents 155.0 cents 6.5% 155.0 cents 160.0 cents 7.0% 160.0 cents 165.0 cents 7.5% 165.0 cents 170.0 cents 8.0% 170.0 cents 175.0 cents 8.5% If the Diesel Price Fuel Index exceeds 174.9 cents per gallon, the fuel surcharge continues to increase 0.5 percentage points for every five-cent increase (or portion thereof) in fuel prices.
