If the fuel Index falls below $3.00/gallon, a decrease of 0.5% is applicable as the price of diesel fuel decreases $0.05, and if the fuel index exceeds $5.00/gallon, an increase of $0.5% is applicable as the price of diesel fuel increases $0.05.
JBS will continue to monitor the national average listed by the U.S. Department of Energy and published weekly in
Transport Topics, or you can view this information through our web site under
What's New?.
Previous fuel increases seem to level off after a period of time. JBS hopes that this situation is also temporary. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above, please feel free to call me directly at 630-924-2000 or
via e-mail.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
Alec A. Gizzi, CTB
