Rate confirmation
What clients rely on today
Keep the contract. Hedjee covers the gap.
Fixed freight rates
The rate holds when diesel jumps. Your client eats the difference.
Surcharge clauses
Often partial or late. Shippers feel the pass-through and push back.
Renegotiating terms
Slow, costly, and it strains the relationship with the shipper.
+ Hedjee
Covers the fuel the clause leaves exposed, so the rate holds and nothing gets reopened. Shippers keep steady rates and keep the business.
The March 2026 spike, replayed
Diesel jumped $1.29. Your client would get it back.


Hedjee pays the difference. After Apr 2, Hedjee pays you $1.29 on each protected gallon.
