So should everything Get those dammed lorries off the road especially those foreign ones 
dirty devil 666:
I have noticed that just recently, there seems to be alot of outsiders hauling for container firms in felixtowe. Yes mr benton brothers & mr R.P.L to name just a couple! I know for a fact that felixtowe is very slow at the moment so why cant hauliers like this bugger off out of there and leave the work for near bankrupt local firms. I mean, itâs not as if they normally haul out of deserted towns or anything is it, R.P.L is a company from milton keynes so if they cant get work there then pack it in. Maybe if they did [zb] off out of felix then perhaps we wouldnt be seeing so many local firms going short!!
So we have inland container ports dotted along the A14.
Suffolk haulier takes it to Cambridge; swops the box with another who takes it to Kettering etc etc etc.
No. Thats not local enough. Felixistowe driver takes it to Ipswich; Ipswich driver takes it to Bury; and on and on.
I will stand at M1 J29A tomorrow and stop all these non local trucks from using our fantastic Derbyshire motorway.
A local motorway for local people.

Wheelnut could you explain the comment about NWT educating the carrot crunchers. Just out of interest.

I dont think youâll see to many pulling out as most of them are subbing to the big companies wincanton etc. anyway. But i do understand what your saying. The only thing is maybe some of the big ones will have to lay off subbies to make enough work for there own trucks. I dont see it getting any better in the next few months though.
they have done exactly the opposite on the construction side,if you get commercial motor mag,youâll see over the last 5/6months all them wagon/drag/cranes all belonged to wincantonâŚdone me and my great mate a huge favour,no slow-down as yet,but weâll see what happens in the new year.
Good luck to you mate. But i was talking about container haulage rather than on a general basis.If they dont stand down some of the subbies they will have their own vehicles standing but then again it could be cheaper to lay the drivers off use subbies and stand their own. Who can tell these days.
