About Purolator’s Fuel Surcharge

Fuel represents a significant variable cost in the provision of transportation services. Employing a variable fuel surcharge allows Purolator to avoid frequent changes in its base shipping rates and allows the overall cost of shipping to vary (both up and down) with the market price of fuel. Although Purolator utilizes gasoline, diesel, aviation and jet fuel in the provision of its services, Purolator’s fuel surcharge is automatically adjusted based on changes in the market price of unleaded gasoline in order to provide Purolator’s customers with an easy to understand basis for changes (both up and down) in Purolator’s fuel surcharge. In addition to automatic adjustments, Purolator’s fuel surcharge is subject to adjustment upon changes by Purolator to the surcharge trigger point ranges and associated percentages set out in the Dynamic Fuel Surcharge Table above.
