Key policy changes are needed to ensure the success of the road haulage industry and future transport contracts.
The Road Haulage Association has recently called on the Government to establish and implement relevant transport policies to ensure the industry’s forward progress in the most cost-effective way possible. The future of the UK’s logistics industry and transport contracts are reliant upon an efficient road haulage network. Without these changes being addressed the sector responsible for hauling 85% of the UK’s economy will be at risk.
World of Change
Our recent dramatically changing global and local government landscape must prove to be the opportune moment for politicians to step up and support the road haulage industry in its entirety. The logistics industry in the UK is the fifth largest industry employing approximately 1.8m people and providing £78bn to the economy as a whole. However, future transport contracts and UK-based logistics companies need to continually remain relevant, efficient and cost-effective if they are to be profitable in today’s evolving market.
The Road Haulage Association has recognised the need to strike while the iron is hot and is pushing government officials to finally enact relevant transport policy regarding the mutually shared key issues facing hauliers across the country.

Forward Progress
The future of one of the UK’s largest and most profitable industries is a stake. For businesses to remain competitive and continue to win transport contracts it is necessary that essential and relevant policy changes be made soon. Given the nature of the changes that the RHA are calling for it is safe to assume that this cannot be regarded as a partisan topic. Improvements to the UK’s infrastructure and roadways benefits all and will ensure the speedy forward progress of an ever-growing industry.
