Rising fuel prices prompt hauliers to consider surcharge for customers

A FUEL surcharge that could be passed on to customers was one of the items up for discussion at a crisis meeting of the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) in Cork last night.

The group said it is facing serious problems as a result of soaring fuel costs and said there is an urgent need for its customers to engage in consultation with them.

The representative body for the country’s hauliers said it faces a bleak future unless issues can be resolved.
