Our primary 3PL is citing diesel price increases and asking for a 14% rate hike six months into a 2-year contract. We have an escalation clause but they claim force majeure. What is the right approach?

Humne partial acceptance + secondary carrier allocation se pressure balance kiya. Full re-rate avoid ho gaya.

Invite both relationship managers, separate force majeure from surcharge mechanics, and offer a shorter residual term if needed.

Start with data — benchmark current rates against market indices before any conversation. Never negotiate blind.
