The same Irish firm that a regular poster on here used to drive for■■?He was on twitter saying that all the loads that the company deliver originate from Ireland and because they are not going back to Ireland regularly and only collecting trailers from the quayside @ Liverpool, Birkenhead etc for onward delivery that is where they are falling foul of the Cabotage rules.
Don’t shoot the messenger that what he was saying on Twitter
I do know that Liverpool port police and VOSA/DVSA are targetting Irish firms for the same reason at the Ferry terminals and the Irish hauliers that have drivers and trucks based in England have been shipping trucks back to Ireland once a weekNo sympathy so.We all know the rules,and its taking work away from UK hauliers.
I remember seeing of a Dundalk based haulier,caught at the same craic a few years ago.Made it to a thread/post on here.Called to a meeting with customs in UK to discuss fine etc.,and release of vehicle.
At the hauliers request the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled.Guess what?Never even bothered to ring second time,to reschedule,just never showed up.If I recall vehicle was sold by UK Customs.And righlty so.
Whilst I agree we all know the rules if the said company changes it’s practices it will not mean one bit of extra work for UK companies they are lifting their own trailers out of the Irish coast ports just means that the drivers will go over to Ireland more often.
It is the unit that comes under the cabotage rules know of someone caught at Castle Kennedy he just got the ferry back to Belfast changed units and came straight back on the next boat with the same load
