From this summer, any truck over 3.5 tonnes travelling on Dutch roads will be charged. For a typical Euro VI artic over 32 tonnes, that's around €0.20 per km on chargeable roads.

A standard return run from the Hook of Holland to the German border? That's roughly €60-€80 in Dutch tolls, per trip.

The charge applies to all trucks - domestic and foreign - and requires an onboard unit (OBU) to be fitted. 𝗡𝗼 𝗢𝗕𝗨, 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

At Waller Transport, we're already working through the implications for our European services and our customers supply chains. Whether it's route planning, cost modelling or simply making sure the right kit is on the right vehicles - preparation is everything.

If you're a freight customer moving goods through the Netherlands and want to understand how this might affect your costs, get in touch. We're here to help you navigate it.

🤖 AI is changing how we plan - and we're here for it.

As a family haulage business, staying ahead of demand has always been part of the job. But we've recently started using AI to help us forecast demand more accurately - analysing patterns in shipment volumes, seasonal trends and customer requirements to make smarter decisions about capacity and resource planning.

The result? Less guesswork, more efficiency and a better service for our customers.

We're still early in the journey, but the potential is huge - and it's exciting to see how technology like this can support a business built on decades of experience and relationships.

💬 We'd love to hear from others in the industry - how are you using AI in your logistics or freight operations? Whether it's route optimisation, predictive maintenance or something completely different, drop it in the comments below.

⛽ Fuel prices - what's happening right now and what it could mean for your freight costs.

Diesel has eased slightly from its March peak, but at around 188p per litre it's still significantly higher than where it was at the start of the year. With tensions in the Middle East continuing to simmer, analysts are warning that further price rises are likely in the months ahead - and in freight, that matters.

Fuel is one of the biggest cost variables in road haulage. When prices climb, it puts pressure on the whole supply chain - and businesses that plan ahead are the ones best placed to manage it.

At Waller Transport, we keep our customers informed and our pricing transparent. Whether you're moving regular loads or need a flexible freight solution, we'll work with you to keep things running smoothly - whatever the fuel market is doing.

If you'd like to talk through your logistics needs, our team is here to help.

🍦 This week, Waller Transport has been keeping things cool - literally

We've been delivering ice cream for one of our customers, and honestly? It's one of our favourite kinds of freight. 🚛❄️

Behind every perfectly chilled scoop is a seriously complex logistics chain - refrigerated trailers maintaining precise temperatures, carefully planned routes and a team who understands that when it comes to temperature-sensitive cargo, there's zero room for error. That's the reality of cold chain logistics, and it's something we're proud to get right every single time.

From frozen goods to chilled produce, our refrigerated transport solutions keep your cargo in perfect condition from collection to delivery - whatever the weather ☀️🌧️

But enough about us... we want to know the important stuff 👇

Here's a question worth asking your logistics team this week:

👉 When did we last properly review our transport plans?

If there's a pause before the answer, it's time to take a look.

Diesel is now averaging 190p per litre. Middle East instability is squeezing global oil supply. The fuel duty freeze ends in September - with staged rises to follow. And that's before you factor in post-Brexit complexity and growing ESG pressure.

The logistics landscape in 2026 is expensive, unpredictable and unforgiving of plans that haven't kept up.

A good review doesn't need to take long. But it should cover:

→ Whether your European and worldwide shipping strategies are still fit for purpose
→ Where flexibility in timescales could reduce your costs
→ How technology can streamline communication across your supply chain
→ Whether your transport choices support your ESG and environmental commitments

We work with businesses across the UK and Europe to make sure their logistics are optimised - not just for today, but for where their business is heading.

We've written more about this on our website - link below 👇

60+ years of getting stuff where it needs to go. 🚛

Steel. Timber. Pallets. Out-of-gauge cargo. You name it, we've moved it.

If it needs shifting - across the UK, into Europe, or literally anywhere in the world - there's a pretty good chance we've done it before.

We've got access to 50,000+ vehicles and a team that genuinely loves solving the awkward ones.

We work with some big names 👀 (John Lewis, M&S, Amazon, Aldi, Asda - just to drop a few) but we treat every shipment like it's the most important one we've ever handled.

Because to our clients, it is.

Family business. Big ambitions. Zero faff.

That's Waller. 🧡
