Best Answer

A fuel surcharge is what most trucking companies and some business charge for fuel useage, usually based on mileage. This rate is calculated using the DOE (Dept. of Energy) website. That gives national averages. I not sure on exactly how the weekly amount is figured. But as of this date, its around .52 cents give or take. This amount is what offsets fuel costs involved with shipping.
