A. Duie Pyle uses the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Central Atlantic Average price
of a gallon of diesel fuel as the base for calculating the fuel surcharge for all
LTL shipments. For the week of
Sat 12/15/2018, the price of a gallon
of diesel fuel is
$3.368.
The LTL fuel surcharge for today is
25.40% based on this
average. The table below illustrates A. Duie Pyle's LTL fuel surcharge guidelines.
