wonderful the truckies are doing this, but what about the buses and coaches they are effected as well, but have had no mention. Mrs King needs to have a reality check,and understand that promises should be kept.
go the truckers make it hard for "gov"
So put your prices up to cover the extral 100 bucks per 10,000 kms. It's a no-brainer. Cripes, is this the mentality of truck drivers generally? No wonder they're struggling. What this country needs is a change of government and a sharp shift right, politically. Privatise roading, ACC the lot, so the rest of us no longer have to subsidize drop-kick industries like this one.
Good on them. Im happy someone has the b---s to stand up to this silly governance and make them take heed. If this does not work lets all start with a pen's down nationwide due to the increases in costs of living , which have to be offset somehow with smart thinking on part of the government by possibly lowering taxes , etc .
And then in the interests of fairness all the private motorists get stung as well becaaue they went diesel (and green) Maybe all diesel owners should also protest. For the people, by the people? Go the Truckies!!!
Go Truckies,in all fairness,as mentioned by others,your issues are very valid ones and is only the beginning
Oh gosh. Your so nice Ms King.1)It's about fairness.2)I'm looking at changing the system3)It could have been twice this much.4)It's the truckies that are the bad guy's: "protests were being organised before the increase in road user charges were announced"Just crazy: Truckies are not asking for much. They are prepared to pay there share. They just need you to sort your act out. Do what you said and give us some notice so we can react and change cost structures rather than go down the gurgler. It's about being fair! Play the game Ms King sort your act out!
Go the Trucker's.About time someone stood up to this money hungry government,I understand the government needs lots of money to pay for that train set they brought, but riping of truckers is not the way to do it. Milk, Cheese, Petrol, Smokes, RUC's and many many more items all taxed by Labour. Over And Out
Go get them Truckies!!!! Good on you. With all those big riggs you should be able to make enough impact for the govt to listen to you. Glad i don't have to go to the city in the morning. Traffic is going to be a nightmare in there!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha. I think you are right Jeff this is only the beginning of things to come.
Go for it Truckers. Jeff, I hope your right, we do need to get this nanny govt to listen to its voters (for once) one way or another
