Why are we increasing this surcharge?
- Due to the current trucking and driver shortages in the entire United States, it has become more difficult to obtain a driver to pick up a load. Because of that, demand is high, and the supply is extremely low, causing trucking to become more expensive for both Tropical and for our customers.
