I also get 100% of the fuel surcharge, but it doesn't seem to increase as rapidly as the fuel does.
A hundred years of gas prices corrected for inflation

The K in Kalifornia is not referring to the people, it's referring to the politicians they elected and the subsequent policies that are destroying the state.

I have one customer where I get ahead as it goes up, all the others I lose ground. My surcharges are all over the place. For me, that $4.00 per gallon is where I start to lose out.

I feel like I get robbed most of the time. I am headed to Syracuse, NY with an excavator on Tuesday and the surcharge is a measly $0.24 a mile. Basically an insult.

One might think that fuel prices would be cheapest at the company station that's across the street from the refinery.....but the Exxon station that used to just outside the main gate was a LOT higher than any other station within a 35 mile radius!

Sorry man, is that your compensation? 24¢ per mile?
Edit:
(sorry for my ignorance on this; am just not familiar with the lingo)

What drives me nuts is the inflated prices near airports
Around hear they add over $1/gallon or so
figure it’s tied to bringing rental cars back full

Sorry but it has everything to do with CPP Compromised Joe's policies
he's anti-oil/coal or self-sufficient energy policies we "all had the last 3+ years" etc.

That is the Federal mandated fuel surcharge. That is above and beyond the line haul, which is what a load pays the Owner Operator. Fuel surcharge fluctuates with the average price at the pump. By law, the owner operator is supposed to receive 100% of the surcharge.

It's the same along the Interstates. It's always higher than off the beaten path. They know Interstate truckers and travelers need fuel, and most don't want to stray too far from their route.

I live in Reno.
Diesel and unleaded 40-6o cents a gallon cheaper when I get 20 or 30 miles from my house . Yes the truck stops on I80 priced high. Need to get away frm them for better price.
This is completely irrelevant to auto gas prices, but when I was flying in the USAF in the 60s, JP 4 was exorbitantly priced at...hold on to your hats...11c/gal. Lemmeesee here, 7600lb internal in my Super Sabre /6.5lb/gal =1169gal/.11 = $760 to fill her up. In retrospect, I no longer feel guilty lighting up the afterburner! (Photo at Mass ANG reunion 10 y ago. That Hun is still flyable, and my ride is scheduled for June. OK it will cost $5000 owing to some interval inflation...)
