Estes Express Lines (SCAC: EXLA) publishes a long historical fuel surcharge table on its public tariff page. NexusFeed parses the table in headless Chromium and returns the rates newest-first. Estes is one of the deeper historical sources in the API — the upstream table routinely exposes five or more years of weekly data.
