Cabotage extension for Christmas business in UK
New rules in UK will allow EU drivers to make unlimited deliveries in a 14-day period, as opposed to the current regulation, which only allows EU hauliers to make two deliveries or two collections in a week. The relaxation of rules will apply to all goods but could be beneficial particularly for food supplies coming into the country, in the lead up to the busy Christmas peak period.
Driving recruitment specialist Encore welcomes the cabotage extension - but urges that more be done to tackle HGV driver crisis. In its opinion, the amendment is only a short-term solution to the driver challenges currently faced.
Encore's driving division currently supports a network of HGV drivers to find suitable work in the logistics industry. (ben)
