Sadly we’re seeing increasing numbers of hauliers going into administration. Rising costs are a significant factor. This will need to be addressed by the next govt. Hauliers are the lifeblood of the economy.
WATCH 🎥 Hauliers are facing significant cost pressures - a record number went into administration last year. The next Government must reduce rising costs and regulation faced by the businesses who are critical to our supply chain. Watch @BBCNews clip below.
Day 2 at the @JDFoundationUK #JDUP future #careers event here in Manchester @MCR_central. It was fantastic to see British Youtube sensation and MOBO Award winner @Chunkz try his #skills on our training simulator.

We are delighted that following RHA campaigning, the Chancellor has frozen fuel duty and extended the 5p cut making important savings for coach, HGV and van operators! 🚚 #Budget2024
Big campaign win!
Following extensive RHA campaigning we are delighted that the Chancellor has announced that the Government will be introducing draft legislation to extend Full Expensing to the cost of leased goods such as vehicles 🚚 #Budget2024
Today, 33 of our largest members wrote to @Jeremy_Hunt asking him to consider measures to support hauliers this #SpringBudget. Last year more than 490 road haulage businesses became insolvent, this isn’t sustainable. The sector needs support now 👇

Great to host @FionaHyslop at @RHANews Bathgate. Covered topics such as ferry capacity, driver facilities, speed limits, freight crime and skills to name a few. Look forward to working together as we move forward.
Big campaigning win for the RHA in today's #AutumnStatement. Freezing of HGV Levy and road tax will help operators in the difficult economic climate. Thanks to @hmtreasury and @jeremy_hunt for listening to us.
Great meeting with @halfon4harlowMP, Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships, and Higher Education at @educationgovuk.
