Every carrier is free to make their own formula.The one at FECC is very complicated,but I can tell you it is based upon the previous months avg fuel price.Since the first of the year,we have rec $4300.00 in rebates.This really helps out.100% of surcharge goes to the contractor.

Truckstop.net is good and getting better all the time Flying J service and connections are better. WE use both.

LDB...I enjoyed talking to you at the FJ Temple Ga TS(before IVAN the terrible sent you scrambling for cover). One thing I failed to mention was some companys can get you moving from your home base better than others.Houston has allways been good for us at FECC.I dont know about the others you...
