Fuel surcharge

Along with staff, diesel is the largest cost item of a road haulier. In only a short period of time, the price of diesel has risen immensely, and it is still subject to considerable fluctuations. In order to avoid having to review the existing price agreements on a monthly basis, it was decided to impose a fuel surcharge (in percentages) on the transport prices. This percentage is agreed in advance and can change every month.
