You're right that would be hugely unpopular. You have to think of the ramifications of such a move on the cost of many consumer goods which would be enacted as a result of higher freight fees being passed through. We run a fleet of 25-30 diesel pick-ups, and everytime the price of fuel rises, so do our costs, and as a result our prices.
