Fuel Surcharge Details
Important Note:
In March 2022, Gold Rush Express Delivery locked our fuel surcharge when gasoline prices reached $4.82, not raising it further despite significant increases in fuel costs. Starting January 1, 2023, we revised our fuel surcharge structure to lower the surcharge, integrating these expenses into our standard rates. Current and Historical Rates:
As of March 1, 2024
- 18% Fuel Surcharge at a Fuel Price of $4.83
Previous Surcharge Rates:
- February 1, 2024: 14% at $4.49
- January 1, 2024: 16% at $4.68
- December 1, 2023: 17% at $4.74
- November 1, 2023: 21% at $5.14
- And so on, with detailed adjustments reflected back to January 1, 2023, and notable changes in March 2022.
We anticipate future reductions in fuel costs, though a minimal surcharge will persist as long as fuel prices remain elevated. For a detailed fuel index, please request by emailing info@goldrushexpress.com with the subject line “Request Fuel Index”.
