Fuel Surcharge Information
All Same Day Express Shipments and Routed Shipments are subject to an adjustable fuel surcharge. As of April 1, 2026, this rate will be adjusted weekly on Mondays as fuel fluctuates. We calculate our surcharge based upon fuel prices listed on AAA’s web site for the San Jose Metro Area. For every $0.10 the price of fuel increases our surcharge increases by 1%.

**Please be aware Gold Rush Express Delivery capped our fuel surcharge in March 2022 when gas was at $4.82. Our fuel surcharge did not increase with the huge gas prices. As of January 1, 2023 we have adjusted our fuel surcharge table to reduce the surcharge and include our costs in our rates.
