For example, UPS uses an index-based surcharge that is adjusted monthly and is based on the National U.S. Average on Highway Diesel Fuel Price as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Currently, the UPS surcharge is 4.50 percent on ground packages with fuel diesel price of $2.61 per gallon. The most commonly used formula is mileage based and includes 3 components: -Threshold fuel price: If fuel costs more than the base price, the surcharge will be applied.
So if the avg price of fuel is $4.00 a gallon and the surcharge is .51 cents and the length of the haul is 300 miles the carrier would get $153 for fuel. Now when a carrier says they pass along 100% percent of the fuel surcharge they should be passing along 100% percent of what the shipper is paying for fuel.
