Chart of Grove shuttle to PNW export rates
(Jan 2006 - July 2010)

The charts above depict the escalating effects BNSF fuel surcharges are having on the tariff charges being assessed on Montana producers. While the BNSF maintains that they lowered rates in Montana during 2008 (selected shuttle points by $100 per car in March), the fuel surcharges continue to increase charges on our producers. In order to provide the most accurate look at transportation costs, the MW&BC is providing a complete by-origin, by-month tariff rate analysis, both with & without fuel surcharges.
