And most off those subbies will be foreign, I know i shouldnt be zenophobic, but its probably the truth

Not as such, although Irish sea freight volumes are down & far less predictable.
Brett I may be wrong but 143 trucks rings a bell when I started out of Fleetwood nearly 7 years ago.
Guess you’re East Coast. Yep, the last 27 units going back. I heard from the horses mouth by chance a few days ago.
Freight costs 20p a kilometer less to move by subbie than own fleet.

Subbies can’t be doing themselves any favours there.
