UK Haulage Firms Face Uncertain Future As Brexit Approaches

Lorry driver Bob Evans, 68, drives his vehicle from the port of Calais as he makes his way to Belgium to pick up a load of bananas on March 5, 2018 in Calais, France. The haulage industry faces an uncertain future while Brexit negotiations between the British government and the European Union continue. Many in the industry, which currently enjoys the free movement of goods within the EU, are concerned of possible lengthy waits at borders if full customs checks are brought back in after Brexit. Managing director of haulage firm INT Logistics Norman Ives says that having lorries standing still and waiting at borders 'will cost the industry millions... and prices will have to rise dramatically'. The Road Haulage Association meanwhile is anxious about a piece of government legislation which will see a permit system for international drivers introduced in the event of no deal being done with the EU.
