Best Answer

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.

Is it legal for a trash hauling company to charge a fuel surcharge that the customer hasn't agreed to.?

It would depend on the terms of the agreement between the trash hauling company and the customer. If the agreement allows for fuel surcharges or includes language that allows for additional charges, then it may be legal. However, if the customer did not agree to such charges or they are not stipulated in the agreement, the company may not be legally entitled to impose them. It is advisable to review the agreement and seek legal advice if necessary.
