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
