Road hauliers seek imposition of fuel surcharge

Road hauliers have said they can "can no longer guarantee the provision of professional and reliable transport services" without the introduction of a fuel surcharge to offset rising fuel costs.

The Irish Road Haulage Association, which represents over 1,000 haulage companies nationwide, said this morning that it has written to the Irish Exporters Association, the Irish International Freight Association, IBEC, and ISME, to outline its position on the matter.
