a single fund, but an umbrella title for a number of different measures designed to help hauliers. There is no central information line for the fund, so you must first decide which part of the scheme you are interested in and then speak to whoever is dealing with it. This will not necessarily be the Department for Transport as the department has delegated administration of parts of the scheme to different organisations, including the Road Haulage Association and the Freight Transport Association.
The different parts of the scheme and the best initial contacts are: • Training schemes for young drivers and apprentices, plus driving simulator training. Contact either: the Road Haulage and Distribution Training Council on 01908 313360 or Susan Hamilton at the Department for Transport on 020 7944 2492. Alternatively e-mail: susan.hamilton(a)dtlr.gsi.gov.uk • Help with modernising vehicles to minimise emissions and switch to cleaner fuels. Contact: Transport Action on 0845 602 1425 or visit the website at: www.transportaction.org.uk
111 Free advice on fuel economy to help cut your fuel bill by 5-10%. Contact either: the Transport Research Laboratory on 0800 056 5005 (www.trl.co.uk/fea) or Simon Management on 0800 783 7434 (www.simontraining. corn). Food and retail distributors should contact: CSDF on 01344 869533 (www.csdf.org.uk).
• Modernising Operator Scheme (MOS): Also to help with fuel economy and additionally for help on the business potential offered by information technology. Contact either: the Road Haulage Association on 01932 841515 (www.rha.net), or the FTA on 0870 0117715 (www. fta.co.uk).
