Fuel Surcharge Entry

 

Accessing the System Fuel Surcharges:

Select Data Setup -> Rates -> Fuel

Entering A New Fuel Surcharge:

  • Fuel %: Sets the fuel surcharge percentage you would like calculated on the shipments.
  • Fuel Per Mile: Sets the fuel surcharge you would like calculated per mile on a mileage table when used.
  • Effective Date: Sets the effective date for the fuel surcharge.  This allows for the entry of fuel surcharges in advance, rather than waiting until the day it is to take effect.
  • Expiration Date: Sets the expiration date for the fuel surcharge.
    • Example: If you are going to increase your Fuel Surcharge next week, you would enter the date you would like the old Fuel Surcharge to expire and enter a new charge to take effect thereafter.
