• I feel forced with rage to reply to P Clark's letter about the John Dee Group. I fear Mr Clark must have a considerably biased opinion
of John Davison; he is obviously lucky enough not to have had the misfortune of sub-contracting for the John Dee Group.
It is about time the Road Haulage Association made a stand on this matter and I hope that every Licensing Authority in the country takes a stern view of John Davison's 0-licence applications.
All too often the larger guy is given the chance to start up again to make the same old mistakes, while smaller operators like myself with only two or three vehicles are left to struggle against rate cutting.
If I went bankrupt for £500, never mind thousands of pounds, I doubt very much if I would be granted an 0-licence. So why should John Davison be given preferential treatment?
Come on Mr Clark, there are real hauliers out there who don't want to see this man back in the transport industry.
