How this is calculated
Rates are the published (or table-calculated, where marked on rate pages) weekly fuel surcharge for each week. Diesel is the EIA survey from the Monday before.
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.
