Logistics outsourcing professionals may be pleased to hear the Road Haulage Association (RHA) has welcomed a new report from the government.
Put together by a House of Commons Transport select committee, the study looked at the work of the Vehicle & Operator Services Agency and the RHA has noted it as useful in stimulating debate in the sector.
In particular, the industry body suggested the report would make a "valuable contribution" to the future of haulage enforcement against foreign trucks, explaining this was a "key issue".
Director of policy at the group Jack Semple noted: "We welcome the committee's comments and recommendations on the Operator Compliance Risk Score," adding these now need to be very carefully reinterpreted.
The RHA also stated recently that businesses across Britain needed to accept the fact that the cost of road haulage had gone up as a result of continued inflation and this would inevitably affect overheads.
