Survey * UK - Hauliers want rogue operators stopped
Which of the following changes would you make to the industry if you had the power?
London,EN,UK -Road Transport, by Justin Stanton -1 September 2010: ... We offered a dozen ideas, and respondents could pick up to six of those. The results may surprise you:* Impose harsher penalties on rogue operators: 79%
* Abandon the fuel duty escalator: 61%
* Educate customers as to why they should pay more for transport: 56%
* Revise pre-pack administration rules to ensure no more legal phoenixes: 48%
* Agree a standard of service for all maintenance providers to meet: 46%
* Abandon Driver CPC: 39%
* Abandon the introduction of Euro-6 engine emissions legislation: 38%
* Allow some form of longer and/or heavier vehicles on UK roads: 28%
* Introduce a road-user charge: 25%
* Impose greater restrictions on entry to the industry: 24%
* Make Driver CPC more robust and more flexible: 22%
* Put more VOSA officers at the roadside: 21%
So abandoning fuel duty wasn't the most popular! As evidenced by the launch of the Road Haulage Association's 'Rounding Up The Cowboys' initiative, it is the enemy within - rogue operators - that matters most and needs addressing urgently... (Photo from curtisheavyhaulage.co.uk: Abnormal loads)
