Transport Companies Fuel Levies. Hi-Trans, Auscold, Toll, Scott's, Linfox, TNT ... Why are we being charged fuel levies when DIESEL is the cheapest it's been for 20 years?? FUEL LEVIES SUCK

I work for a company which has a lot of transport costs. We bring in stuff from overseas, we export, and we move stuff around Australia.

What pisses me off is that almost all of the freight companies around are still charging a FUEL LEVY, even though DIESEL is the cheapest it's been for 15 or 20 years.

This has become a blatant ripoff and companies such as the one I work for have to bear the brunt of this cost. DIESEL FUEL is so cheap at the moment that in most cases, it's cheaper than normal unleaded.

SO WHY ARE TRANSPORT COMPANIES STILL CHARGING THIS "FUEL LEVY?"

Because it's a source of INCOME!! It's money for nothing. Transport companies will carry on about how DIESEL FUEL has become so enormously expensive, and they need to make up their rising costs. Well, the cost of DIESEL has come down enormously in the past few months.

Why do FREIGHT COMPANIES continue to rip off the buyer and in turn, the consumer?

MY SUGGESTION IS TO ANY COMPANY WISHING TO FREIGHT STUFF AROUND AUSTRALIA, IS TOO REFUSE ANY TRANSPORT COMPANY THAT WANTS TO CHARGE A FUEL LEVY. AND TELL THEM THAT DIESEL IS SO CHEAP, THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO LEVY....

The power is in the hand of the customer.

IF TRANSPORT COMPANIES COME LOOKING FOR YOUR BUSINESS, TELL THEM YOUR HAPPY TO DEAL, BUT NOT WITH A FUEL LEVY.

Legal Notice: The companies listed in this post do not reflect whether they do or do not charge a fuel levy. This may or may not be applicable. Every company is different. The chances are that they do charge a fuel levy. You will have to investigate.yourselves. Either way, we are being g ripped off, left right and centre.
