Cargill Files STB Rail Fuel Surcharge Complaint Against BNSF
April 23, 2010
On April 19, Cargill, Inc. filed a rate complaint with the Surface Transportation Board (STB) alleging that BNSF Railway fuel surcharges over-recover its incremental fuel consumption costs and that BNSF is using these fuel surcharges to extract excess profits.
In addition, the complaint alleges that BNSF is double-recovering its incremental fuel costs.
On January 25, 2007, the STB established rules governing fuel surcharges.
