In light of the STB's decision on January 26, 2007, and in compliance to said decision, CGR is introducing a new Fuel Surcharge Tariff 01a - Item 16 effective April 26, 2007. Please see the terms of CGR's new Fuel Surcharge below:

Tariff 01a - Item 16

Effective April 26, 2007 CGR will be changing to a mileage based Fuel Surcharge tariff for all new publishings . We will be

using a rail-mileage calculation from a third party software ALK Technologies - PC Miler.

The new FSC will be calculated monthly. It will be based on the average price of "US No. 2 Diesel Retail Sales by all Sellers

On Highway Diesel" as determined by the US Department of Energy of the second calendar month prior to the month in which

the FSC is applied. For example, the FSC in April will be calculated on the average OHD price for the month of February.

Our Fuel surcharge will be .02 cent per rail mile for every .04 cents per gallon by which the HDF average price for the

Calendar month 2 months prior to the calendar month of shipment exceeds $1.99 per gallon .

 

The following table reflects a sampling of the fuel surcharge within the included OHD Average Price ranges:

Cents per Gallon

CGR's current publishings are considered Contract Pricing and will continue to be subject to CGR's Original Fuel Surcharge Tariff 01a - Item 15 thru each contract's expiration. The new Tariff 01a - Item 16 will apply at expiration of current publishings.

Since CGR will be resetting the "trigger point" to a more current fuel level, we will be adjusting our freight rates accordingly.

We will have more details of our new program listed on our website shortly.
