Once again, pre Brexit warnings of what was likely to happen to the British haulage industry were ignored, dismissed as scaremongering and ‘operation fear’. Now it is reported that twice as many haulage businesses are going bust since Brexit. #haulage #RejoinEU #BrexitDisaster #SingleMarket

LLANELLI HAULIER HIT HARD: Fuel crisis adds £64,000 A WEEK to costs — and shoppers could soon feel the pain
Bosses at Owens Group say the surge in diesel prices — driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East — has pushed costs up by around 30% almost overnight.
Founder Huw Owen said the impact was immediate.
“We felt it as a company straight away,” he told the BBC.
“With a fleet our size, we burn a tanker of fuel a day. We used to order fuel a week or even a fortnight in advance — now we’re negotiating prices day by day.”
Inevitable’ price hikes
The warning comes just days after concerns were raised about rural families struggling to heat their homes — with industry figures now saying the crisis is spreading fast through the wider economy.
The Road Haulage Association has warned rising fuel costs will “inevitably” be passed on, meaning higher prices for everyday goods.
“Everything we buy is moved by road at some point,” said RHA representative Geraint Davies.
“If these costs stay high, there will be an inflationary effect — it’s unavoidable.”
Supply chaos and soaring prices
The crisis has also disrupted how companies can even buy fuel.
Owens Group — one of the largest haulage firms in Wales with around 600 vehicles on the road — says suppliers have stopped allowing bulk advance orders.
Instead, firms are being forced to buy fuel daily at volatile prices, making long-term planning almost impossible.
Global oil prices have surged past $100 a barrel amid fears over supply routes linked to the conflict involving Iran, sending shockwaves through industries reliant on transport.
Government under pressure
The RHA is now urging ministers to extend the 5p fuel duty cut, warning that ending it later this year would “add flames to the fire of inflation”.
But the UK Treasury says it is trying to balance public finances, insisting it will ensure drivers get a “fair deal at the pump”.
rom hauliers to households
The warning signs are clear: from heating oil in rural homes to diesel in delivery fleets, the same crisis is rippling across Wales.
And with businesses like Owens now absorbing massive cost increases, experts say it may only be a matter of time before supermarket shelves reflect the price shock too.

Key Highlights from the #London Assembly #Transport Committee Agenda – 9 December 2025:
A report due for consideration on 9 December 2025 shows that, despite #TfL introducing measures such as new bus lanes and priority traffic signals, average bus speeds across London have continued to fall since the 2020/21 Assembly year.
The committee also reviewed road space, driving and congestion at its 12 November session, taking evidence from #Logistics #UK, the Road #Haulage Association and Future City Logistics. Witnesses highlighted the sharp rise in home parcel deliveries and the strain this places on London’s road network. They noted difficulties in distinguishing delivery vehicles from tradespeople’s vans, described as ‘mobile toolboxes’. Low public uptake of parcel lockers was said to fragment deliveries and reduce efficiency. The meeting ended with an agreement for further data on decarbonising road logistics and potential improvements to London Plan policies.

Explain it to me like I am an EU citizen:
There is a haulier from Southampton, a city in Britain, which famously is NOT IN THE EU. And he expects the EU to give up protecting its borders and relax its Schengen rules, so his trucks can make money by driving MORE in the EU than in his own country.
