Fuel Surcharges

Changes in fuel prices result in shifting costs for the transport industry, requiring a variable fuel surcharge, which may rise or fall in line with movements in fuel prices. OrangeDS uses an index-based surcharge that is adjusted monthly. Changes are applied the first Monday of each month and are reflected on your invoice.
