edd1974:
Only way it will ever change is if a majority of the haulage firms make a stand. . And invoice them for waiting around for hours on end. Which technically you can after about half an hour or an hour depending on company policy. Either that or refuse the loads. Then they will soon realise. Will it happen? Never . We should learn from the French at times. Take action all out bring things to a standstill then people will sit up take notice.
Well of course every haulier is entitled to charge demurrage, just like the receiver is entitled to then refuse that haulier access to site which would force the supplier to then find a new more compliant haulier to shift the goods instead.
