THERE can now be very few people in the UK still unaware of the record price being charged for fuel at the pumps and it won't be long before we all feel the effects.
But one group being particularly hard hit right now is UK hauliers.
It's time that something was done. To that end, the two organisations that look after the interests of British hauliers have decided that enough is enough and, in an unprecedented move, they are putting up a united front and are both firmly behind the campaign FairFuelUK.
Between them, they represent thousands of UK hauliers involved in the movement of goods by road. They really are the 'lifeblood' of the UK economy. But the time has come when the fuel price situation is now so serious that all users of fuel, especially the general motorist, now have common cause with us.
To make a real difference we need all fuel users to join our campaign.
There is another fuel duty increase planned for April but if we can get enough support, we can stop that happening. Rest assured, we will not take part in or support any kind of disruptive action as that would simply demean our industry, our country and hurt the general public who are already suffering.
