No problem Robin. I take it you'll be happy with a hike in the price

I'm happy for Road Haulage to pay its share. Then perhaps they'll be
less likely to make so many unnecessary journeys.

That's not what I asked. And at £40 an hour in fuel costs alone, you can
bet they don't do unnecessary journeys.


Necessary and cost-effective are not the same thing. It may make
economic sense to haul something from one end of the country to the
other at £40 an hour, but put it up to £100 per hour and perhaps someone
may decide it's more cost effective to produce locally.
