People power every mile of the coach, van, and road haulage sectors.
Every day, thousands of dedicated individuals keep the UK moving—often under pressure, managing demanding schedules, navigating traffic, meeting customer expectations, and balancing the challenges of work and personal life.
That is why Mental Wellbeing is a vital pillar of the RHA Wellbeing Charter, launching on 15th July.

Mental wellbeing is not just about responding when challenges arise. It is about proactively creating environments where people can thrive, feel supported, build resilience, and maintain positive mental health throughout their careers.
Across our industry, long hours, lone working, shift patterns, time away from home, financial pressures and the fast-paced nature of operations can all affect wellbeing. Yet mental wellbeing remains one of the most critical foundations of a safe, productive, and sustainable workforce.

The RHA's ambition is to help drive a culture where conversations about mental wellbeing are normalised, support is accessible, and individuals feel confident and empowered to seek help when they need it. Through our commitment to creating one million moments of improvement over the next decade, we will work alongside operators, drivers, employees, wellbeing experts, healthcare professionals, charities, policymakers, and industry partners to ensure this pillar is shaped by evidence, expertise and lived experience.

We recognise that wellbeing is not a one-size-fits-all issue. That is why the Charter will continue to evolve through listening, learning, and collaborating with those who work across the sectors we represent. Our goal is clear: to create meaningful, lasting change for the people who keep our industry moving. When people are supported to be mentally well, they are more likely to be safe, engaged, resilient and able to reach their full potential.

Mental wellbeing is not only good for individuals—it strengthens businesses, supports communities, and helps secure a stronger future for our industry.
Together, we have an opportunity to put people first, break down barriers and make mental wellbeing a priority across every part of our sector. Let’s take that step forward and create a healthier, more resilient industry for everyone.

We are encouraged that the Government is listening to industry concerns, and addressing cost pressures through measures they’ve announced today. But they should go much further.

We acknowledge the extension of the fuel duty freeze from September to December, and a temporary cut in red diesel which will reduce some costs for operators in the agricultural sector. It’s good to see that the Chancellor is listening after we and other industry groups have long campaigned against fuel duty increases.

A one-off 12-month HGV VED ‘holiday’ will offer some relief, but overall the Government’s action will have limited impact with many haulage, coach and van operators already on the brink.

We are seeking clarity from the Chancellor on further measures she could introduce to significantly ease the pressure on businesses. In the longer term we urge her to decouple fuel duty from RPI which is planned to start next April which will see prices rise again.

But the immediate picture is far more pressing. Cashflow is a huge challenge for transport operators against a backdrop of cost pressures, low margins, and the high rates of insolvency plaguing our sector.

Businesses need help now. Our recent fuel survey revealed that only 10 percent of operators can pass on all the fuel cost increases they’re taking on as the price of diesel has soared by 35 percent.

It’s never been more critical. This is why we urge the Chancellor to introduce an immediate essential user rebate – similar to schemes elsewhere – that would help haulage, coach and van operators substantially reduce their bills, and relieve inflationary pressures across the economy.

Your comments welcome

@karenfthompson Wow that’s a sky

📻 LISTEN: RHA Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Multimodal Logistics Ltd, Tim Wray, was on BBC Radio earlier today highlighting the continued impact that rising fuel costs are having on our sector.

We’re calling on the UK government to introduce an Essential User Rebate because haulage, coach and van operators are not discretionary fuel users.

Commercial vehicle operators keep shelves stocked, businesses supplied and people connected. Yet they are facing some of the highest operating costs in years, with rising fuel prices, increased employment costs and continued pressure on already tight margins.

When transport costs rise sharply the impact is felt across the whole economy.

An Essential User Rebate would provide targeted support to help operators remain viable, protecting jobs and reducing inflationary pressure.

@RHANews @Daily_Express @RachelReevesMP Not just Hauliers, it’s affecting the bus and coach industry too, not a single member of Government has addressed the situation yet, this time next year there will be many businesses no longer here
