Nucor Plate Group keeps fuel surcharge at $10/ton for June

Nucor Plate Group will maintain its previously announced fuel surcharge of $10 per short ton (st) for next month, effective on all shipments beginning June 1.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker first said the fuel surcharge was necessary in April to address rising costs. Last month, it was set at a price of at least $10/st on plate.
