We appreciate the patience of drivers during this initial transition and anticipate that within weeks
haulier turnaround times will be significantly faster than under the previous system.
Haulier Enterprise is a transport management system designed for mid to large-size haulage businesses.
Lining their vehicles along a specially closed section of the A40 Westway in west London, the
hauliers spoke of their fears for the industry as long as fuel costs remained at record highs.
FUEL tax could be cut for
hauliers and VAT put up instead to ease the pressure on
hauliers, former Welsh Secretary Peter Hain suggested yesterday.
Hauliers are angry at soaring fuel prices which have resulted in the average cost of diesel passing far beyond the 120p-a-litre mark.
Also,
hauliers have regularly called for better cooperation and exchange of information between national regulators of their industry within the EU.
Once again, politicians have lumped Britain's road
hauliers who are already paying the highest fuel taxes in Europe, with the motorist," said RHA Chief Executive Roger King.
Hauliers, motorists and taxi drivers are just some the groups being encouraged to join the 60-second protest, organised by the People's Fuel Lobby (PFL).
LONDON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "Today's news will certainly get a cautious welcome from UK
hauliers," said RHA Chief Executive Geoff Dunning.
UK
hauliers now account for just 19% of international road haulage traffic between Britain and Continental Europe.
Angry
hauliers today fired a dramatic warning shot at the Government by taking to the streets of Cardiff for a new fuel protest.
We welcome the consultation on a Brit disc but need to understand how the implementation will affect the reduction in VED rates as UK
hauliers will also have to pay for it.
