What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Wald implemented fuel surcharges using the Department of Energy price index following efforts by Iran to disrupt shipping lanes. The Department of Energy reported that national diesel prices have surged 70.7% from the prior year, reaching $6.18 a gallon. This increase is attributed to geopolitical pressures from Iran and its allies, who have been cutting off key shipping lanes.

The conflict is driving up fuel costs, which is significantly impacting the trucking industry. Fuel now accounts for 22% of total transportation spending, up from a long-term average of 15%. Carriers are also becoming reluctant to commit to longer-term pricing due to fluctuating diesel costs.

Renewed exchanges of fire between the United States and Iran have led to the imposition of a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge.
