A Fair Fuel Surcharge Policy
We strongly believe that a fuel surcharge should not be a profit center, or a sneaky way to impose hidden costs on customers. Throughout most of our history, CDC did not even assess a fuel surcharge. A few years ago, when gas prices began escalating at a rate far exceeding inflation, we reluctantly decided to… Read more »
