OUR TRADE associations, that is the ETA and the RHA, have let down their members very badly and Richard Turner (right) and Roger King [their respective heads] should now both resign.
Cosying up to government ministers in road haulage forums and the like has achieved nothing, except to keep the industry quiet in the runup to the general election, and the latest debacle over the LRUC is the last straw.
The last fuel protest achieved at the very least a 50% cut in VED rates As Commercial Motor's survey last year showed,a strike by hauliers would paralyse this country in one week.The leaders of our associations should use this knowledge to force the government to give us the things we need to survive: an essential user rebate and a simple scheme to tax t >reign lorries using our roads Unless I see some movement towards t hese ends,1 for one will not be renewing my membership.
