Re: Fuel Surcharge Discount

As your DTA auditor and advisor, I am to ensure your carriers are not over billing you or asking for payment twice and to highlight opportunities for future cost savings. Attached is such an opportunity.

While auditing your account, I noticed that your current carrier applied a 35% fuel surcharge for truckload shipments across Canada. The attached Canadian Domestic Fuel Calculation issued by FCA (Freight Carriers Association) recommends 16.7%. I have done the comparison and the enclosed report demonstrates a savings of $20,672.14 in period of 6 months. This represents a savings of 16% of your total expenditure; annually your savings would be $41,344.28.

I encourage you to review this analysis with the carrier’s sales representative and negotiate a lower percentage. Please call or email me, as I am always here to help save you time and money.

Kind regards,

DTA Freight Auditor/Advisor
