FedEx Fuel Surcharge by Service Level

Unlike LTL freight carriers, parcel carriers publish a separate fuel surcharge for each service level, each keyed to the fuel price index named in FedEx's published schedule — ground services track a diesel index, air and express services track a jet fuel index. The percentages below come straight from that schedule.
