 Fuel Surcharge

 

Three bills are pending in Congress that would require motor carriers, brokers, and freight-forwarders to pass-through fuel-related charges to any third-party that bore the cost of the fuel. The bills are being pushed by OOIDA. The legislation would not require carriers to charge, nor require shippers to pay a fuel surcharge, only that if a surcharge was made, that it be passed through. Associated with the pass through requirement would be an obligation to disclose to owner-operators and others who paid for the fuel, freight charges and other information contained in the invoice for the transportation service. A fourth bill requiring pass through and disclosure related to Department of Defense transportation contracts has passed the House. ATA is opposing all of the proposals.
