I don't know your range or number of trucks and equipment burt, I'm assuming quite a bit at 1k a week
but when prices were real high a few years ago We applied a fuel charge, instead of the rate raise.
our bills are itemized and the total doesn't change that much but it really helped curb the beating we were taking on driving and running equipment at, to/from the jobsite.
It was never much I think the highest was $25. but 5- 10 in fuel money every stop... 20 or so stops a day on our two crews.... roughly
when prices dropped we removed the charge as there was really no need unless a certain job or property requires excessive amounts of fuel.
sounds like you have done all you can do to try and keep cost down and be competitive...gotta pass the buck
