Trucking firms are raising their rates or looking at stopping operations if the government does not address the spiraling price of diesel, according to the Alliance of Concerned Truck Owners and Organizations.
ACTOO called on the government to step up and provide “prompt and fair solutions” to rising fuel prices, which it describes as “an existential threat to the road freight sector and the consumers it serves.”
The association said it is “sounding a dire alarm” as “global turmoil has triggered projected diesel price hikes of P17.50-P24.25 per liter – an unprecedented one-week surge.”
