• A haulier demanding compensation because of excessive waiting time is considering its position this week after supermarket giant Morrisons has refused to pay.
Hepden Transport of Stokeon-Trent is consulting with its local Road Haulage Association legal department on the possibility of taking further action.
It threatened to take legal action against Morrisons unless it was compensated for lost wages and standing time.
The problem arose last December when Hepden was kept waiting for 14 hours at Morrison's distribution centre at Wakefield. Owner Keith Hepden is charging the supermarket £240 for the delay.
