CONSUMERS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES CONTINUING TO WATCH FUEL PRICES GO UP, AND FEEL THE SQUEEZE ON THEIR WALLETS. SMALL BUSINESSES ARE ALSO FEELING THE PINCH. ONE COMPANY IS GIVING ITS CUSTOMERS A BREAK, AS FUEL PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE. BY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING ITS FUEL SURCHARGES, FEDEX FREIGHT IS OFFERING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO SHIPPERS WHO ARE FACING A CHALLENGING ECONOMY AND VOLATILE FUEL PRICES. AND, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A TEMPORARY CHANGE, SHIPPERS WILL ALSO SEE LONG-TERM BENEFITS. AS A MAJOR CONSUMER OF DIESEL FUEL, FEDEX TAKES ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS RISING FUEL COSTS VERY SERIOUSLY. THAT'S WHY IT'S TAKING A LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY--BY MAKING CHANGES THAT WILL BENEFIT ITS CUSTOMERS, AND THE MARKET AS A WHOLE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW FEDEX IS MAKING THIS IMPORTANT MOVE, LOG ON TO "FED-EX"-DOT-COM.
