BNSF had announced August 5, 2008, that it planned to extend its mileage-based fuel surcharge program to carload (Agricultural Products, Coal, Industrial Products and Automotive) customers who do not currently pay a mileage-based fuel surcharge beginning Jan. 15, 2009, and to Intermodal customers beginning Feb. 18, 2009. BNSF also had planned to increase the strike price — the Highway Diesel Fuel (HDF) price at which BNSF assesses a fuel surcharge — on carload shipments from $1.25 per gallon to $2.50 per gallon, and to adjust pricing for carload shipments subject to a mileage-based fuel surcharge to reflect the new strike price.
