More About Surcharges
More About Surcharges
-
Surcharges apply in addition to rates and other applicable charges.
Changes in fuel prices result in fluctuating costs for the transport industry, necessitating a variable fuel surcharge which may rise, fall or be removed, in line with movements in fuel prices.

- Emergency Situation
- Remote Area Delivery
- Remote Area Pickup
