Fuel & FSC Update – March
Team,
Fuel prices have moved sharply higher over the past week, and it’s something everyone in trucking needs to stay aware of.
The latest data shows the national average diesel price at about $4.86 per gallon, up nearly $1 in a single week.
Several factors are pushing prices up right now:
- Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting oil supply
- Disruptions around key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz
- Global diesel supply tightening across several markets
Because diesel powers most of the freight network, these spikes ripple quickly into fuel surcharges (FSC) and transportation costs across the industry.
What drivers should be cautious about right now:
• Expect FSC adjustments across many carriers and customers
• Fuel prices may remain volatile week to week
• Plan fuel stops strategically where possible
• Avoid unnecessary idle time and watch fuel efficiency
• Pay attention to regional price differences when routing
The big takeaway: fuel markets are moving fast, and staying aware of the changes helps everyone operate smarter and keep costs under control.
We’ll continue monitoring the market and share updates here so everyone stays informed.
Stay safe out there and keep the wheels turning.
