The Road Haulage Industry

The RHA lobbies government on behalf of the road transport industry. Our membership includes small to medium-sized businesses, as well as the vast majority of the UK’S contract haulage and logistics operators – in fact, more than 80 of the Motor Transport Top 100 road transport operators are RHA members. The RHA works hard to be at the heart of a professional and diverse road haulage industry that organisations, government and the public understand and value. Here are some of the top issues our members currently face:

  • Road Haulage Facts and Stats

    Road haulage is essential for the people and businesses of the UK.

  • Fuel duty

    The RHA was pleased that the Chancellor maintained the freeze in the fuel duty rate for diesel in the Autumn statement in November. However, even with the freeze, UK diesel fuel duty still remains by far the highest in the EU. This impacts on haulier’s cash flow, profitability and, more widely, UK competitiveness and economic growth. The RHA will continue to support a future reduction in the fuel duty rate.

  • Trucker's Toilets

  • The Apprenticeship Levy

  • Roads

    The RHA has a strong vision for roads in that they should be well-built and maintained, with surfaces that are even and minimise road noise. They should use signalling technologies to improve traffic flow, and information technology to ensure that road users have timely and reliable information. Roads authorities should be measured against those objectives.
