All I can say is a lot of you will go broke paying high fuel high finance and cutting rates to pieces some rates offered now I was getting 10 years ago and everything was cheaper back then

I really don't understand why Hauliers aren't doing something about this. Not blocking roads just park them up and protests as private citizens. After all it was okay for BLACK LIVES MATTER and EXTINCTION REBELLION

unfortunately there comes a point that the customers are priced out of the market by their overheads.
