Dear CSX Transportation Customer:

Due to reduced fuel cost, the CSX Transportation fuel surcharge will decrease April 1, 2009 as follows:

CSXT HDF/Mileage Based Fuel Surcharge
The highway diesel fuel/mileage based fuel surcharge is published in CSXT Fuel Surcharge Publication 8661 and applies to all regulated linehaul freight rates existing or established by CSXT on or after April 23, 2007. It also applies to all linehaul freight rates and charges with respect to exempt, contract, private or other pricing documents that reference CSXT Publication 8661 on or after April 23, 2007. View provisions here.

The CSXT HDF/mileage based fuel surcharge of 8 cents per mile, which became effective March 1, 2009, will change to 5 cents per mile for shipments having a bill of lading dated on or after April 1, 2009.

The 5 cents per mile fuel surcharge is based on the "HDF Average Price" of 219.5 cents per gallon for the calendar month of February 2009. The "HDF Average Price" is on U.S. No. 2 Diesel Retail Sales by All Sellers, as determined and published by the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration at www.eia.doe.gov.
