Following on from the recent Budget and relentless rise in base old prices, Cranleigh Freight Services Ltd are to put into place their own “sliding scale” structure of fuel surcharge which reflects an in-depth study and analysis of deliveries carried out by CFS during 2007. “The price of fuel has risen by over 25% since Jan 2007 and we needed to find an open and transparent method of applying a fuel surcharge that fairly represented the true extra cost of delivery, whether it is a pallet, full load or a furniture delivery. Clients need to be confident that we can fully justify the level of fuel surcharge levied and reflects a true increase in cost” said Becky Young, Sales and Marketing Manager CFS.
Under its new fuel surcharge formula, CFS issued all clients with new freight rates as of 1st Jan 2008, inclusive of a set fuel base rate. Fuel will be monitored monthly and the base rate re-set for the following month. For every 1p per litre increase in the base rate, CFS will apply a surcharge of 0.15% to the freight charges, equally should the base rate go down the surcharge will be reduced. Customers will be able to monitor the base rate and applicable surcharge via the CFS website www.cranleigh.co.uk
