Fuel surcharges began to be widely implemented in the 1970s, primarily in response to the oil crisis and rising fuel prices. Initially adopted by the airline industry, these surcharges were later adopted by various transportation sectors, including trucking and shipping, to help offset fluctuating fuel costs. Over time, they have become a common practice to manage the impact of fuel price volatility on operational expenses.
