BULLET EXPRESS Logistics managing director David McCutcheon has warned the government that unless it starts listening to the haulage industry about the burden of fuel costs, the only option available to operators will be strike action.
-We have lobbied our MP and MSP [Member of Scottish Parliament] and written to our fuel company and yet prices don't come down." he says.
The price of a barrel of oil has fallen by 33%, but the cost of diesel has dropped only 8%.' he says.
McCutcheon is also urging customers to lobby their MPs, hut admits that strike action could be the only resort.
The sentiment is supported by Steve Clarke, general manager of The Fuelcard People: -HGV operators want something done about the price of fuel even a temporary cut in the high rate of fuel duty."
• Transport secretary Ruth Kelly has resigned from her post and will step down at the next Cabinet reshuffle, expected tomorrow.
Kelly, who is leaving to spend more time with her family, took over the transport role in July 200'7 in a move that saw her replace I/ouglas Alexander. ROYAL MAIL HAS added 40 MAN TGS tractor units toils fleet the first time an MAN tractor has appeared in the distinctive red livery. The TGS 18.400 4x2 BLS units are running out of Birmingham mail centre.
Head of distribution Steve Walker says the potential cut in running costs offered by MANS EGR Add Nothing engine technology ticked all his boxes. "Fuel economy has always been the largest running cost and, with today's price of fuel, we'll take a look at any potential improvement in consumption. With no costs and complexities of AdBlue to worry about. MAN's a simpler solution."
