No its not an attack
I would not question your intellegence
But i’m afraid if your friend Mr Preston and all his other friends didn’t ■■■■■ the rates on haulage work then perhaps people wouldnt be going to Belgium to buy there diesel and you would have that pay rise

if we all went to belgium to get our fuel there wouldnt be any body left over here to do the work
Can we please keep this out of the playground and on-topic, guys?
I am watching this thread and will take action if it gets out of hand…although i’d far rather that you let me have a nice, quiet Saturday evening…

north surrey haulage:
i used the eurotunnel for the first time this year yesterday & they have put the price up for the fuel deal (a rate charged for solo units when going over the water to fill up)what gnarls me is that there was no warning given to either myself or my driver & it has gone up by over 15 per cent (previously it was £65 each way now it is £76.40) when inflation is around 3 per cent.
this seems to be a trend with them as it was only £85 for a round trip just a couple of years ago.
could this be another example of a big corporation cashing in on smaller companies just trying to make a living?
You said you drove the truck,didnt employ drivers,
There cost have gone up thats why its dearer,
just to make a living thats where your argument falls down cus its exactly why you are moaning cus you are not
my final word on this subject is
[zb]

Then again it could be that they feel that it is unfair that you can get fuel at reduced rate,when the rest of have to pay the full price !!
Why is it unfair, that what the EEC/Common Market is all about isn’t it.
oddsodz
why is it unfair for me to pay for my fuel at the cheapest price i can get it?
are you telling me you wouldn’t take advantage of cheaper fuel if you had the oppertunity?
Unfair to get fuel at the same price as the rest of the European transport industry?
If people here [who you might consider as being colleagues] feel that it is unfair, then we have no chance. 
because we are the first ones to moan about johnnie forenger coming over here running cheap diesel
oddsodz
then maybe you should be moaning about the indecent amout of duty on our fuel prices & not about sombody trying to make a living!
IMHO, its one thing to get cheap diesel to increase your profit margin. Its something else to use cheap diesel to undercut the rates of another company on a job. Rates, and so wages, are more than low enough as it is, without cutting them to suit cheaper diesel.
Maybe its just me but I reckon the Eurotunnel can do the maths the same as us. If a tank hold 500 litres and the price difference is 30p (sterling) then thats £150 saving per tank full. If the truck is fitted with bigger, or twin, tanks then the saving is even greater.
It looks to me like they want a slice of your savings for themselves. That’s a shrewd business decision. The lack of notice is just plain stupid, careless or indifference (you decide). The Severn Bridge increase was notified for at least a month and maybe more.
