A healthy population is essential for economic development. The poorest people on the planet tend to suffer most from the health effects from exposures to environmental hazards like air pollution and impure water. In turn, disease and disability related to polluted environments slows and blocks economic development.
Now this is how most shippers figure out the fuel surcharge on mileage. The base cost of fuel starts at $1.25 a gallon and is also based on a truck getting 5 miles to the gallon and is figured on the avg. national price of fuel as per the DOE every week.
For example, subtract the $3.50 actual price per gallon from your $3 threshold amount to get $0.50. Divide $0.50 by the vehicleâs four miles per gallon to get your fuel surcharge rate of $0.125 per mile. If you drove 100 miles, your customer pays an additional fuel surcharge of $0.125 multiplied by 100, or $12.50.
