Q: How can I access the EIA/DOE Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices Index?
A: Here is the link to the EIA/DOE. This site is updated every Monday evening.
Q: What does the environmental component cover?
A: The environmental component is our charge that we attribute to our overall company-wide costs to operate our business in a safe and environmentally responsible manner and to achieve an acceptable operating margin. This environmental charge is not tied to any specific environmental compliance or other costs to service a specific customer account, but to the overall environmentally related costs to service all Liquid Environmental Solutions customers and to achieve an acceptable margin. Our environmentally related costs include, among other things, engineering, testing and maintenance in our plants and processing facilities. In our collection operations these costs include such things as the disposal of tires, batteries, oils and fluids and the monitoring and management of vehicle emissions.
Q: Will the environmental charge component change each month?
A: No. The environmental charge will not fluctuate each month. It is currently set at 1% of all invoice charges, including the fuel surcharge (excluding taxes). The percentage may be changed periodically if there is a business determination that warrants an increase or decrease in the fee charged.
