But surely once out of Eu we can make it a little bit harder for them to come into U.K.If they’re bringing in components for the automotive manufacturing industry or food for supermarkets, do you think our government is going to make it harder and risk upsetting the multi-national companies who have car plants in the UK or risk price rises in the shops adding to inflation because of extra costs of getting food here?
UK haulage is a very low priority for the UK government, it isn’t going to get any special favours.
Of course they should be kept out or at least reduced so UK trucks do at least half the business but with no pressure from unions or the RHA I think Muckles has very accurately described the future above.
Taking a weekend 45 in the cab has to be tackled immediately though due to social nuisance and the lousy working conditions of these drivers both of which are strongly contrary to EU principles supposedly.
With the UK talking about £300 fines for weekend in cab and France already imposing €,000s, where are the chancers gonna go?
If we keep foreign hauliers out through quotas or taxes what do you think Europe will do to our hauliers? There are two sides to every deal although many think we can dictate terms we can’t.
And as Muckles wad leading onto if haulage rates between Eu UK increase it’ll put prices up on ALL goods and components. So we as consumers pay more and our industry is less competitive.
