First, decide how much your target price--the price you always want to pay out of pocket for fuel--is. Let's say your target is $2.
Subtract that from the current national average diesel price. If it's $5 per gallon (God forbid), the difference is $3 per gallon.
Then divide the difference by six because your truck is getting 6MPG on average. Right now you've got a 50 cents/mile fuel surcharge.
And finally multiply that figure by the run length--if the run's 1000 miles, you'll tack on $500 in fuel surcharge to the bill.
If you work for a trucking company, they normally fix the surcharge for a month--for June the rate is always going to be, say, 47 cents per mile no matter how high fuel gets.

No, the fuel surcharge charged my most carriers and other businesses today are not required by law. The business is trying to get some extra money to help them with the cost of gasoline/diesel fuel. If you don't want to pay it you will have to shop around for another carrier etc that doesn't carry it.
