Purolator’s fuel surcharges effective May 12, 2008 - May 18, 2008 are: LTL 19.6% and TL 42.4%.
Purolator’s fuel surcharges for freight services are set on a weekly basis to ensure that current market costs for fuel are accurately reflected. Every Friday, Purolator Freight posts the fuel surcharges to be implemented the following Monday on its website. The fuel surcharges are based on the price of diesel fuel (without GST) reported the previous Thursday by the Freight Carriers Association of Canada. The actual fuel surcharge to be applied to a particular shipment depends on whether the shipment is an LTL shipment (shipments with billed weight up to 9,999 lbs) or a TL shipment (shipments with billed weight of 10,000 lbs and over). The following table illustrates the fuel surcharge to be applied to shipments based upon the average weekly price of diesel fuel reported by the Freight Carriers Association of Canada.

About Purolator Freight’s Fuel Surcharge
Fuel represents a significant variable cost in the provision of transportation services. Employing a variable fuel surcharge allows Purolator to avoid frequent changes in its base shipping rates and allows the overall cost of shipping to vary (both up and down) with the market price of fuel.
For information on the fuel surcharge applicable to courier shipments, please visit www.purolator.com.
