FUEL SURCHARGE TO INCREASE IN MARCH

Considering the spike in price of regular unleaded fuel in Florida during February, Blue Streak's fuel surcharge will be 10% for March. Despite this increase, our fuel surcharge continues to be among the lowest in the region.

How it's calculated: If the average price* of regular, unleaded fuel is above $1.79 during the last week of any given month, the surcharge will be in effect on the first day of the following month.

*as reported for the state of Florida, regular gas, all formulations, on the United States Department of Energy website:

BLUE STREAK COURIERS RECENTLY NAMED AS COMPANY TO WATCH IN 2011

Blue Streak Couriers was recently recognized as a recipient of the 2011 Florida Companies to WatchSM award, an honor presented by GrowFL, the Florida Economic Gardening Institute at the University of Central Florida and ACG Florida, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation.

"Firms like these named 'Companies to Watch' continue to be the catalyst that is fueling Florida's emergence from a turbulent national economy," said Randy Berridge, President of the Florida High Tech Corridor Council. "Congratulations to this exemplary group of Florida businesses that continue to invest in their communities and create new jobs in all corners of our state."

The "Florida Companies to Watch," which were named after evaluating more than 310 nominations for the awards, represent industries ranging from alternative energy development to food production and industrial gear makers to information technology firms. The combined impact of the fifty chosen companies is $419 million in total annual revenue; 1,972 full-time equivalent employees and 510 new net jobs created compared to 2009.  From 2006 through 2010, these companies generated $1.4 billion in revenue and added 1,153 employees (both in Florida and out of state), reflecting a 162 percent increase in revenue and 141 percent increase in jobs for the five-year period. That translates into a 32 percent annual revenue growth and 28 percent annual growth in employees.
