What you do today

Keep your carriers. Hedjee covers the spike.

  • Fuel surcharges

    Carriers pass every diesel jump straight onto your freight bill.

  • Fixed-rate contracts

    Carriers pad the rate for spikes, or re-bid when diesel climbs.

  • Budget contingency

    Ties up cash, and still falls short in a real spike.

  • + Hedjee

    Pays you back when diesel jumps, so the freight budget holds. Hedjee-backed carriers keep steady rates too.

The March 2026 spike, replayed

Diesel jumped $1.29. You’d get it back.

A walk through the Hedjee demo with its example fleet (9 trucks out of Texas, 2,700 gallons a week), replaying the real Mar 2026 Strait of Hormuz disruption. Protection level $3.65 a gallon, the price on Mar 2, 2026, for one month (Mar 3 – Apr 2) at 5¢ a gallon: $598 on 11,957 protected gallons. The month averaged $4.94, $1.29 above the level, so Hedjee pays $15,413 after the period ends: $14,815 back after the fee. Extra diesel cost, all in: Hedjee $598, fuel surcharge $5,473, no protection $15,413.

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