WHAT DOES IT MEAN? LOGISTICS LEXICON
Reverse logistics is the process of moving goods from customers back to the sellers. Depending on the specific reason for the return, the process can end with the distributor or the manufacturer. Goods that go through the reverse logistics process are typically used for resale or recycling. Reverse logistics also includes the management and sale of surplus inventory or raw materials, as well as the returns of leased equipment, machines, and other hardware.
 
If you’re interested in learning more about reverse logistics or need help with other inventory issues, contact us today. Blue Streak offers a range of services and can create a scalable, customized plan to best meet your specific logistics needs.
FUEL SURCHARGE CALCULATION
Our goal is to provide you and your company with the greatest value for your transportation dollar. We challenge ourselves to continually improve the way we operate to reduce our costs and improve the way we service you and your customers. 
 
Part of that process is a fuel surcharge, which allows us to keep rates consistent throughout the year. The surcharge is based on the national estimates for regular gasoline and on-highway diesel, as reported on the Department of Energy website. The weekly surcharge is calculated by using the average of the two fuel types from the previous Monday.
