How this is calculated

Billings = packages × eligible charge × fuel % × applicable share.

Rates shown as defaults come from carrier publications or each carrier’s published table applied to the EIA price; see the methodology. Estimates and examples are labeled. Results are illustrative and do not represent any carrier’s reported financial results.

Questions

Does UPS report fuel surcharge revenue?
