In effect
Wed Oct 7 → Tue Oct 13

Source: EIA weekly on-highway diesel, US, week of 2026-10-05. DOE schedule: 1¢ a mile for every 5¢ of diesel (DOE's stated step), from a $2.20 start derived from DOE's printed rows. Via Fuel Signal.

The extra per mile a carrier bills when diesel costs more than the price built into the rate. Worked out from EIA’s weekly diesel price — on DOE’s schedule or your own contract’s base price and MPG — with the math shown.
