Nothing makes me more angry than hearing the RHA spouting off about anything regards Road Haulage. They certainly do sod all for hauliers and less than sod all for drivers, if I sound bitter and twisted its because I am. For more than 37 years I have heard nothing but hot air from this over paid underworked bunch of free loaders. They are supposed to be our PR department to the world it is a pity all they can do is complain about about a joke.
Stupid question
Where do the RHA get thier funding from?. . . .
Not a wind up,just would like to know, would also like to know of any significant
contributions/changes they have made to the British haulage industry for the better ?

they get their income from membership fees
mine included, and to be honest I’m disappointed they are wasting time whinging about TG when there are many other things they could be concerned with !!
They need to spend more time on sorting out the industry and not send me loads of leaflets and other stuff that isnt of any use to me.
On the front of their magazine, Roadway, it states that it is the ‘Voice of Road haulage’ A pretty bold statement!

Out of interest … how many members have they got and how much do
you pay to be a member ?
Members, ohh er missus
So what do you get in return for your subs then?
I see that they have spoken out on the major topic affecting the industry
at the moment(Clarkson),pity they cant do something positive about things like
the lack of overnight parking or stowaways for instance!!
they have some good junckets abroad. they are crafty to i do believe they were behind the poa dont make me laugh, they have managed to get total flexable working for free
they never made that much fuss over the rising fuel cost. One joke about something that happened how long ago? The people who complain about these little things want shooting, bit off topic but it’s like harry’s letter about smoking there’s is always someone wanting to stir it up.

Do the RHA help drivers or their families when arrested abroad.
The simple answer is a big NO
When John Vasey was arrested in France he was a fully paid up member of the International Group, did they help, NO
His wife was told they do NOTHING when a driver is arrested abroad, whether he is guilty or not it does not matter.
They refused to give her or the family any advice at all
I personally met Rodger King at a press conference organised by Fair Trials Abroad in London and asked him publcly why they did nothing to help drivers in this situation, his reply
“I’ll look into it”

The RHA dont make me laugh and the Lawplan sorry not worth it
My mrs belongs to the FSB (Federation of Small Business) that costs £100 a year and offers a legal service 24/7, on the odd times she has used the legal service they have been absolutely brilliant, they dont mess around when it comes to legal matters. Earlier this year I left a company that had coerced me into running bent, I left without notice. They then tried to sue me for £3k for breach of contract, cost of taking on an agency driver and a whole load of other crap. The mrs contacted the FSB and a barrister was on the case within hours, the company backed down and the matter was resolved. Without the FSB there’s no way I could have had that sort of legal representation. 100 quid well spent and I’m not even a member
So which is the best union/organisation to belong to then for the average joe lorryist that i am ■■
I am not and have never been in a union/organisation and must admit i know next to nothing concerning these matters but have often wondered whether i should be.
