Abstract

This project evaluates the financial implications to shippers and motor carriers in the United States truckload (TL) transportation industry of modifying the compensation structure of fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharges (FSCs) are contracts added as addendums to payment of service (called the line-haul rate in the transportation industry) that enable the sharing of fuel price volatility between shippers and carriers.
