Freight Rates & Full Truckload Fuel Surcharge Update

Oct 2026

Freight Rates 

Over the past several years, transportation costs have continued to increase due to higher carrier rates, equipment expenses, driver wages, regulatory requirements, and broader supply chain costs. Throughout this period, we have worked to absorb these increases through operational efficiencies and cost-management initiatives. To help offset a portion of these increased transportation expenses, a freight rate adjustment will be implemented effective December 1, 2026. We appreciate your business and continued partnership and remain committed to delivering reliable service.
