"It takes so long to recover debt that the small haulier has usually gone out of business by then."
Coombs works for potato merchant Beesons of Melton Constable, Norfolk and Saesar Meats of Chelford, Cheshire. Originally an owner-driver, he has recently bought another truck and employs a driver.
He works for Beesons a month at a time and is paid weekly; Soesar pays monthly.
Coombs says the simplification of court procedures for debt recovery could help those suffering from late payment.
