Solving two problems with one hit

FOLLOWING VARIOUS articles in CM and other trade publications on the very real issues surrounding today's haulier,I felt compelled to offer what I believe to be a straightforward solution to two current problems.
These are UK hauliers having margins squeezed tighter and the marketplace being made 'more competitive' by our European .brothers'.So, how about: • All operators with 100 vehicles or fewer qualify for a 10% fuel duty rebate • All those with 100 to 200 qualify for a 5% rebate • All those with 200-plus qualify for 3% Obviously, all percentages would need to he calculated and implemented by someone with a greater knowledge than mine.
All hauliers would need to sign up to the system to qualify and this would be subject to a 100% clean record with regard to all Vosa inspections, be it on site or roadsicle.Any prohibition or PG9 would result in a percentile loss on available rebate, to a maximum of nil.
All rebates lost to the hauliers would then be paid toVosa to give it a much needed cash injection.
