Road User Charge (RUC) Rate increase from 1st October 2018
Further to other recent increases in fuel, we have the Government inspired Road User Charge increase being imposed on the trucking / logistics / supply chain industry effective 1st October 2018.
The overall average increase in RUC rates set by the Government this year alone is approximately 6.5%.
The direct impact this has on cartage rates will vary between operators, but most are looking at anywhere between a 1.5% – 3% increase across the board.
