No, the fuel surcharge charged my most carriers and other businesses today are not required by law. The business is trying to get some extra money to help them with the cost of gasoline/diesel fuel. If you don't want to pay it you will have to shop around for another carrier etc that doesn't carry it.
absolutely not. Brokers normally use this charge to add to their margin. The only rate the carrier is entitled to is what is on the rate confirmation. Also that rate is only valid if the service that is described on that rate confirmation is met. Rates can be, and should be, deducted if the carrier is late for pick up or delivery.

A fuel surcharge lets the customer pay for part of the fuel used to transport his load. How these work: The basis is that trucks get 6 miles to the gallon and diesel costs $1.95 per gallon, so shipping rates are calculated based on those numbers. If diesel costs more than $1.95 per gallon, the person paying the bill for the freight pays a surcharge per mile to help reimburse the driver. If the national average price for diesel is $4.25 per gallon, you subtract $1.95 from it to get $2.30 per gallon; divide that by 6 and you get 38.3 cents per mile fuel surcharge. Multiply by the number of miles in the trip, and that's how much surcharge the customer will pay.
Fuel Surcharge (FSC)An additional charge assessed for the excessive cost in diesel fuel. The charge is a percentage of the base line haul charges on shipments rated per hundred pounds and a rate per mile for shipments rated for per mile. The surcharge is based based upon the US National Average Diesel Fuel Index. The fuel surcharge will remain in effect as long as the national average exceeds a benchmark of $1.15 per gallon.
