Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Steven Norris says truckers are right to protest over rises in excise duty and fuel tax (Right of Reply, 15 April). A report by the Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme indicates that only 30 per cent of commercial fleet managers know how much they spend on fuel. Only 40 per cent of drivers have been trained in fuel-efficient driving, and fewer than 30 per cent use improved maintenance to reduce consumption. Instead of causing havoc for road users, hauliers should look at efficiency within their own operations and help to save the environment and save themselves money.
