About R Courier's Fuel Surcharge
Fuel represents a significant variable cost in the provision of transportation services. Employing a variable fuel surcharge allows R Courier to avoid frequent changes in its base rates and allows the overall cost of shipping to vary (both up and down) with the market price of fuel. R Courier’s fuel surcharge is automatically adjusted based on changes in the market price of unleaded gasoline in order to provide R courier’s customers with an easy to understand basis for changes (both up and down) in R Courier''s fuel surcharge. In addition to automatic adjustments, R Courier's fuel surcharge is subject to adjustment upon changes by R Courier to the surcharge trigger point ranges and associated percentages set out in the Dynamic Fuel Surcharge Table above.
