A fuel surcharge, abbreviated as FSC, is a charge imposed by carriers to address regional or seasonal fluctuations in fuel prices.
The primary application of a fuel surcharge is in the trucking industry, but it can also be used by ocean or air carriers.
A fuel surcharge is implemented to protect carriers from the unpredictable variations in gasoline costs.
If applicable, a fuel surcharge will appear as a destination charge on your Beeontrade quote or invoice. It may be included in the Pickup & Delivery rate or shown as a separate line item.
Typically, an additional fee for trucking fuel is assessed as a percentage of the base fee for trucking, and an air-fuel surcharge is determined based on the chargeable weight.
