TRUCKING COSTS * Australia - Fuel increase to add 15k to
Trucking operators may soon be paying close to 10 cents more a litre for fuel, leading to a massive increase in running costs and consumer goods
Brisbane,QLD,Australia -QBR -19 May 2009: -- ... The State Government is considering axing the State’s 8.35 cents per litre Fuel Scheme Subsidy in an attempt to restore the State’s coffers which have been ravaged by the global financial crisis... Premier, Anna Bligh, and Treasurer, Andrew Fraser, have refused to guarantee the future of the $541 million subsidy, prompting concerns for the future of small companies using B-doubles... If the fuel scheme is abolished, the Queensland Trucking Association claims B-double operators’ fuel costs will blow out by $15,000, coinciding with a $3000 jump in registration fees nationwide from July...
