Fuel surcharge calculator
Most fuel surcharges follow one formula: the week’s diesel price, minus the base price your contract names, divided by the truck’s miles per gallon, is the surcharge per mile. This week’s U.S. average is $6.352 a gallon (week of Oct 26, 2026).
Enter the base price from your contract.

Base prices and fuel-economy figures differ from contract to contract; these columns are examples. Some contracts use a regional diesel price or round to a table step instead of the exact formula.

How it works
Copied Oct 30, 2026Every week the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s market news reporters ask shippers, receivers and truck brokers what it’s costing to move produce, and publish the answer as the Specialty Crops National Truck Rate Report. It’s the most consistent public record of reefer spot rates there is, but it comes as a PDF or as raw rows through an API, one row per commodity.
- A Cloudflare Worker asks USDA. The same small Worker behind this site’s YouTube page holds the key to USDA’s MyMarketNews API, free, read-only and kept as an encrypted secret, never in this site’s code, and fetches whichever week it’s asked for.
- It boils the rows down to lanes. USDA repeats each rate once per commodity it covers, so the same number shows up dozens of times. The Worker keeps each distinct rate a shipping area quotes to a city once. Usually there’s one; sometimes an area quotes a second rate for a group of crops, citrus most often, and that’s listed under the sheet.
- The history is USDA’s own. USDA keeps every week, so nothing here keeps a second copy of it. The CSV download holds every week already fetched, back to January 2020; at least once a day a GitHub Action reads it back and asks the Worker only for the newest week and the four before it, in case USDA corrected one. Every report back to Apr 19, 2021: 288 weeks (USDA published none for 1 of the weeks in between).
- Then this page is rebuilt. The Action rebuilds every section, a page for every lane and the CSV. Because the page is plain HTML, reading it never touches the Worker at all, however many people visit.
How to read the numbers: the range is the lowest to highest rate reported for a full load in a 48 to 53 foot refrigerated trailer, broker fees included. Mostly is where most loads actually moved, when USDA reports it. Change is USDA’s own figure for the move from the week before. The truck label is USDA’s read on supply in that area that week, from surplus (more trucks than loads) to shortage (more loads than trucks). “Compared with its history” ranks this week’s middle rate against every earlier week on record for the same lane.
Shipping areas come and go with the growing seasons, so a lane missing from this week’s sheet is usually just out of season. Its page stays up with its history.
Loads from Mexico (South Texas, Nogales and the Calexico crossings) wait at the border before they roll. The lane pages for those areas show the live truck waits at their crossings, from this site’s border wait board.
