EXPORTS may be recovering, but international road haulage operators are still faced with severe operating troubles, and especially a trailer shortage according to the International Through Transport Operators Group.
It says that depressed earnings over recent years will limit hauliers' ability to invest for the business upturn, and will produce a shortage of trailers and equipment.
For every three export loads, there are four import loads, causing an expensive problem for operators who have been burdened with the unavoidable cost of shipping empty equipment in order to meet market demand, says INTRO.
Operators which have closed down in the recession have taken large numbers of trailers and containers out of the market.
