    Alex can you imagine it for a moment...I dont know where the £50 comes into it, but lets take that figure then. Remember the charges are per day. So if a truck was charged £50 per day and was on the road seven days per week, thats a hefty charge for a small company = £350. But let's say that a small company is operating 10 trucks, as many would, then you are looking at a considerable chunk of revenue... £3500...per week
    and bearing in mind that at least some of the time these trucks will be running empty, then you can feel it in your bones who will be picking up the tab, as many trucking companies couldnt afford that charge.

    The proposed fee of £10 will render those figures smaller of course...so the upshot from my point of view is that some small charge might be good, as long as Joe Muggins doesnt end up paying for it.

    It could once again be a tax on us all...and on the poor more so, They will pay the same levy as the rich guy, but spending a higher percentage of their income.
