Released: Aug 1, 2008

Due to changing fuel cost, the CSX Transportation fuel surcharge will change September 1, 2008 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.

The CSXT HDF/mileage based fuel surcharge of 67 cents per mile, which became effective August 1, 2008, will change to 68 cents per mile for shipments having a bill of lading dated on or after September 1, 2008.

The 68 cents per mile fuel surcharge is based on the "HDF Average Price" of 470.3 cents per gallon for the calendar month of July 2008. 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.
