Diesel fuel surcharge

In the freight forwarding business, an extra charge billed to the shipper in addition to the carriage charge. The respective amount is usually based on the current price for diesel fuel at the pumps. – In this way, the forwarders (CH: Spetter; carrier) protect themselves against erratic price increases for fuel, which would upset their calculation of freight costs and even cause them losses. – See bridge toll, road toll, city toll, ferry toll, ford toll, toll, demurrage, cab, gate toll, transit toll, demurrage, loading toll, vignette, waiting toll.
