Probably because VOSA won’t let anyone use the rope hooks to rope down a load now even if they wanted to.
According to them the hooks are only to tie the sheet on with so it’s anyone’s guess where the ropes are supposed to be tied to. :open_mouth: :laughing:

Drivers for flat trailers are becoming an endangered species. 90% of our work is on flats; structural steelwork, precast concrete sections, etc. some sheeting with a fly sheet for return loads, most loads need chaining and /or strapping. At the moment I have 4 vacancies, two drivers have quit today saying it’s not their type of work. I have placed driver wanted adverts three times in the last 12 months and on each occasion had over 60 enquiries, but finding experenced flat trailer drivers is now becoming very difficult and the younger drivers don’t want to learn.

Where are you based?

Bolton. A lot of our work is into London / South East, Drivers must be able to be away all week.

Are you still rotored into every other saturday ?

No, Saturday or Sunday running is on a “as required” voluntary basis.

fairysnuff not sure if its the same outfit that am thinking of
