Bob Kirst Transport Trucking Fuel Surcharge Program
Important Notice
March 1, 2007
Fuel continues to be Bob Kirst Transport's largest expense. Please note the following information regarding changes to Bob Kirst Transport's fuel surcharge program.
Over the past several months the current fuel surcharge program has been reviewed. It is Bob Kirst Transport's philosophy that fuel surcharges reflect, as accurately as possible, the excess fuel costs paid by the carrier. After reviewing all options, Bob Kirst Transport has developed a new mileage-based, flat-rate system with a targeted launch date no later than April 1, 2007. We believe the modifications will better capture additional fuel costs in a proactive approach, rather than simply following the industry standard.
It is our commitment to do everything possible to provide fair pricing for our trucking services. Trucking surcharges will continue to be reviewed monthly. The revised chart however, allows you to estimate what those charges are, based on the cost of fuel at that time. Pricing is based on the U.S. National Average Diesel Fuel Index located at: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp. We will review the data the last week of each month. The surcharge is based on the second calendar month prior to which the surcharge is applied. The current surcharge can also be obtained below.
For additional information please contact us at 800-444-0395.
Sincerely,
Bob Kirst
Trucking Manager
