Fuel Surcharges Continue to Increase

Fuel surcharges (FSC) have been increasing significantly across the transportation industry, with adjustments occurring as frequently as weekly in some cases.

Because fuel surcharges fluctuate based on current market conditions and carrier rates, they are outside of Falcon’s control and may change between the time a quotation is issued and the shipment is executed.

How Could This Affect Your Shipments?

Depending on the timing of your shipment, changes in fuel surcharges may result in additional transportation costs, even when a quotation was provided previously.

We recommend allowing for potential FSC adjustments when planning upcoming shipments and budgets.

Falcon’s Approach

Our team continues to monitor applicable fuel surcharges and will communicate changes as proactively as possible. When confirming a shipment, we will review the current FSC level to provide greater visibility into expected costs and help minimize unexpected adjustments.

If you have questions regarding an upcoming shipment or quotation, please contact your Falcon representative.
