BNSF Announces Wheat Rate Increases

Chart of 110-car shuttle domestic rates
(Jan-June 2009)

Montana Domestic Wheat Rates June 09 with fuel (View Table)

Montana Export Wheat Rates June 09 with fuel (View Table)

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.
