New data shows carriers have been taking most of the fuel price rise hit themselves.
Diesel went up 36% after the Strait of Hormuz closed – while the average freight rates per kilometre on Loadshift rose just 16%.
Something worth remembering.

I was asked at @loadshift yesterday about the announcement of an extra 1 billion litres of liquid fuel storage.
Sounds like a lot until you realise we use 160ML a day.

Loadshift's Alex Randall & carrier Terry Snell feature in BBC piece on Aust's diesel crisis.

We've been lobbying for truckies for weeks in Aussie media – and now via one of the biggest global outlets.

Small carriers need real help, not loans.

Diesel theft from trucking yards. That's where this crisis has got to.

Loadshift carrier Madilyn Lostroh had diesel stolen from her yard.

As our Alex Randall told The Guardian, we're hearing similar reports from operators across the network.

Government says billions of litres of fuel are en route to Australia, but industry stakeholders aren't so optimistic

Fewer stations run dry but supply strength questioned

Loadshift isn't closing. The platform will be running as normal, so you can continue to post and book jobs throughout the weekend without any interruption.

Happy Easter!

[Loadshift @loadshift]

Heads up as we head into the long weekend.

Loadshift will be running with minimal support over the Easter break starting tomorrow. Some delays may come through on updates and finance processing on Good Friday and Easter Monday, with everything back to normal from Tuesday 7 April

Logistics guru at @loadshift sounds the alarm about the Albanese government's fuel tax cut - days after one of his drivers was stranded at an empty Outback servo

[Loadshift @loadshift]

The government just announced a halving of the fuel excise for three months. 26.3 cents off a litre.

For weeks Loadshift has been calling for the full suspension of diesel excise and GST.

We'll keep pushing for it – it's what makes sense during this crisis.

Australia Post fuel levy increases to 12% for business
StarTrack express increases to 22.7%

[Loadshift @loadshift]

80 cents of $3 diesel is tax.

Scrap the fuel excise on diesel now!

We've just introduced laws to crack down on petrol price gouging with huge fines.

[Loadshift @loadshift]

$3,500 to fill a truck. Nearly $1,000 of that was tax.
The fuel excise on diesel should be suspended immediately. Australia runs on trucking and trucking runs on diesel.
Truckies: show Australia what it costs. Share your receipt and tag @loadshift.

[Loadshift @loadshift]

Almost $1000 in tax to fill your tank.

[The Noticer @NoticerNews]

Petrol stations across Australia are running out of fuel, the government has admitted prices are set to hit $4/L, and experts are blaming both major parties for shutting refineries.

"Dumb way to run a country"

[Loadshift @loadshift]

The fuel excise for diesel should be suspended immediately.
Australia runs on trucking, and trucking runs on diesel.

[Matt Barrie @matt_barrie]

We at @loadshift are now seeing 39.5% fuel levies being imposed by heavy haulage carriers.
