MRL Mileage-Based Fuel Surcharge
All Other Carload
Applying on Local Shipments (Routed MRL Direct), Accounting Rule 11 and Interline shipments.
Shipments made pursuant to pricing documents referring hereto will be subject to a Mileage Based Fuel Surcharge (MBFS), when applicable. The MBFS will be calculated by multiplying the applicable fuel surcharge per mile times the number of miles per shipment.
The applicable fuel surcharge per mile, as shown in the Fuel Surcharge Table, will be determined by using the U. S. Average Price of Retail On-Highway Diesel Fuel (HDF). When the HDF monthly average equals or exceeds $1.25 per gallon, in the second calendar month prior to the month in which the MBFS applies, an MBFS will be applied to the total freight charges for each shipment waybill dated on or after the 1st day of the second following calendar month.
The MBFS will be adjusted monthly. The Fuel Surcharge Table will be subject to periodic review. The MBFS shall be included on the invoice for freight charges for each shipment. Miscellaneous and accessorial charges will not be subject to MBFS.
The source for the price of HDF will be the U. S. Department of Energy’s EIA Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices Report, whose U.S. weekly average price is available on their WebPages.
Mileage calculations between stations on MRL will be based on shortest-route MRL mileage. Customers can compute mileage between MRL-served points using the mileage inquiry. The mileage calculation will apply between each shipment’s billed origin and destination. MRL also will be prepared to apply a mileage-based fuel surcharge to interline moves using PC*Miler Rail from ALK Technologies.

Each $0.04 per gallon increase thereafter, apply an additional $0.01 per mile.
Example: If February's average monthly price of HDF is $2.488 Per Gallon then the MBFS applied in April would be $0.31 per mile. Thus, for a shipment traveling 1,267 miles a Fuel Surcharge of $392.77 would apply.
