Did anyone fill it in? I did. I couldn’t believe the questions they asked. And the pre loaded questions they give you. Someone will get a fortune for compiling that load of crap.
I’m aware that everywhere i collect from (well 80%) have 24 hour physical security presence as a deterrent, and everywhere i deliver to has a 24 hour physical security presence as a deterrent. Now they wanna know how safe i feel in a layby/truckstop/motorway services or whatever . Go have a guess yourselves. I mean this is not new stuff we’re doing here, freight has been hauled one way or another for hundreds of years, and the same problems are still with us to lesser or greater degrees.
Next one i found really interesting…how do you think the Government view freight crime? A fair question, and i assume it might give them feedback as to where we think we are in the list of priorities. But when they ask…how do you think VOSA /HATO view freight crime? Well i think whats it got to do with them? Why ask about them, why not ask how we think dog wardens/baliffss/council planners view the problem? Is it subliminal that they are authorities to ‘look over you’, or maybe no such nonsense and they’re perfectly valid questions. Anyone from HATO or VOSA care to comment on your views of things that are clearly out of your remit?
