About our UK Road Haulage news

Latest news on road haulage in the UK, a key sector of the UK economy, responsible for the movement of goods across the country and internationally. NewsNow aims to be the world's most accurate and comprehensive aggregator of road haulage news, covering the latest HGV, haulage industry news and more from the best online news publications.

The UK road haulage industry is regulated by various government bodies, including the Department for Transport and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. Haulage companies are required to comply with various regulations related to safety, vehicle maintenance, and driver training. According to the Road Haulage Association (RHA),the trade association that represents the interests of road haulage operators, there are about 600,000 goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes registered in the UK, and about 493,600 people employed as drivers.

The road haulage industry in the UK has faced various challenges in recent years, including driver shortages, rising fuel costs, and increased competition from other modes of transportation such as rail and sea. Brexit has also had an impact on the industry, with changes to customs procedures and potential restrictions on the movement of goods between the UK and the EU.
