Is it fuel surcharge required by law?

In: Business & Finance [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

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.
