Everyone has had to prepare for this, and the below summarises what Haulage companies should have done in order to remain compliant. The Government have not quite got this over the line yet but it changes nothing. As a Haulier, we need to be prepared and ready for whatever the outcome may be.
The UK Government are continually updating the below page and as such, it is important to keep an eye and ensure you are ready to react.
