chairman of the RHA to call for stricter entrance standards to the industry.
The RHA mailshots all 0licence applicants, asking us to apply for membership! I am a new 0-licence holder. I am in direct competition with Roy Bowles Transport in airfreight haulage.
This industry is heavily regulated. I am in favour (as should all responsible operators) of stricter enforcement.
The haulier's enemy is himself. Rates in airfreight are no better now than 5/6 years ago. Who is to blame? Why am I in this industry? The return on investment is not good.
