RT Services is dedicated
to controlling costs so we can maintain the best overall service to you,
however the rising costs of fuel and environmental compliance related costs are
not something we can control. The fuel surcharge is meant to help us cover the
increased costs and achieve acceptable operating margins and not implement a
rate increase or environmental compliance charge as other companies do.
The fuel surcharge
calculation is attached directly to the national average price of diesel fuel as
reported weekly by the Energy Information Administration of the US Department of
Energy (EIA/DOE) in its Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices Index. This
index is unbiased, accessible to the public and acknowledged nationally by the
transportation and trucking industry.
Our monthly
fuel surcharge is based on a percentage as shown on the EIA Index, which we are
proud to say we are currently under the national average. Please visit the EIA
Index at
http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp
for weekly updates.
The fuel surcharge is not
a tax or surcharge imposed by or forwarded to any government or regulatory
agency, it is our charge alone. This fee may be changed at the discretion of RT
Services at any time.
