Subject: Re: Thepossible return of fuel surcharges Posted on: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:29:27 EDT

the trigger date for the next quarter is 6/18 (although i've heard some say
the 17th). supposedly, if the nymex sweet texas light crude is above $65
on that date, the surcharge is imposed on july 1st. maybe.
