Hi all, the point i was trying to make was why would there be more trucks if we are not going to be trading with Europe if we go out with no deal. I can’t see why we would have more truck’s but doing no trade. As i said before just scare mongering.You’re right there wouldn’t be more loads moved.
The rest is a series of 'IF’s.
Up to you or anyone to accept/not the line of thought:
No deal (especially) means extra checks and paperwork. That means extra time at either ports or inland clearance depots. Since the ports now have more trucks, and less parking, than twenty or thirty years ago, there will be blockages. So trucks will need somewhere to wait/queue.
If it’s a really bad fubar, and each load is on the truck a lot longer, it will need more trucks to carry the same number of loads.
Since we don’t know exactly what’s happening next, so the need to look at possible outcomes.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk
“Franglaise” as I have said before it wont effect British trucks much as only about 10% is done by them from the UK nowadays, most formalities can be electronically controlled so I cant see a major problem with congestion at entry and exit points, plus the Jonnie foreigner’s will maybe start charging realistic payments for the work they have taken from UK hauliers by chopping rates to an un economical level, it does concern us a little as we are one of the few companies still plying our trade in Europe but what ever happens we will have to deal with it when it arrives and if it proves non profitable we stop doing the work and diversify, its as simple as that Buzzer
