Important Update: Fuel Surcharge Adjustment Due to Rising Diesel Costs

by CR Express, Logistics Team

We want to make our valued customers aware of an immediate change affecting transportation costs across the market.

Rising Diesel Prices in the Midwest

Over the past several weeks, diesel prices in the Midwest have increased significantly due to tightening fuel supply and volatility in global crude markets. Our fuel supplier has advised that wholesale diesel prices have risen rapidly and that local diesel costs have skyrocketed with supplies extremely tight, which has led to higher delivered fuel pricing for carriers like CR Express.

In addition, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and fluctuations in crude oil markets are continuing to put upward pressure on diesel pricing, with no clear indication of when relief will occur.

What This Means for Our Customers

As a result of these market conditions, CR Express will be implementing an increase to our fuel surcharge effective immediately in order to offset the rising cost of operating our fleet.

Please note:

  • This adjustment is directly tied to current diesel market conditions.
  • We will continue monitoring DOE fuel indices and local market pricing closely.
  • If diesel prices stabilize or decrease, we will adjust the surcharge accordingly.

Our Commitment to You

Our goal is always to maintain fair and transparent pricing while continuing to provide the reliable service you expect from our team.

If you have any questions or would like to review the updated fuel surcharge schedule, please feel free to reach out to our team.

We appreciate your continued partnership and understanding.
