    What is Fuel Surcharge?

    Also written as FSC

    A fuel surcharge is a per-mile charge added to the line haul rate that adjusts with diesel prices, protecting the carrier when fuel costs rise. It is typically pegged to the DOE national average diesel price.

    Why it matters in day-to-day operations

    Confirm whether a quoted rate is all-in or line haul plus FSC before accepting a load.
