Commercial Fuel Surcharge: 5.95%

Since 1972, we have strived to exceed customers' expectations while maintaining competitive prices. To ensure dependability, we’ve upgraded our commercial fleet and implemented safety measures that have reduced accidents and workers' compensation claims.

Due to rising fuel costs from inflation, a fuel surcharge is now necessary. This charge helps cover fuel expenses beyond our control. Effective March 1, 2022, you will see a fuel surcharge on your invoice. The Department of Energy EIA, Weekly Central Atlantic, NO 2 Ultra Low Sulfur Retail Price Chart, Week 4, less $.20, will determine the monthly charge.

For example, if the surcharge percentage is 9.17% and your base monthly rate is $500, the fuel surcharge would be approximately $45.85. The surcharge will adjust monthly according to fuel prices and will be removed when prices fall below $2.75/gallon.

We appreciate your understanding and loyalty during these challenging times.
