Rising fuel costs have put immense pressure on freight costs. In response, carriers are moving away from traditional monthly fuel surcharge cycles, to weekly or fortnightly reviews.
This allows carriers to respond quicker to market pricing pressures, potentially resulting in higher surcharges. Rising freight costs compound an already difficult position for retailers navigating softened consumer confidence and tighter household spending.
Absorbing the cost erodes margins while passing them on risks cart abandonment. Knowing what you're being charged, and whether those charges are consistent with what carriers are applying across the market, is the first step to making informed decisions.
That's why we built the Fuel Surcharge Matrix - a centralised view of current fuel surcharge rates by carrier so you can benchmark what you're paying, spot anomalies, and have better conversations with your freight partners.
