Out of diesel . Work cancelled rest of the week . Just enough to get truck back to the yard . It’s not getting better it’s getting worse .
I delivered to a building site this morning and the bulldozers were out of diesel !
Plus was meant to take a job to Oxford . Didn’t have the diesel to get there .
It is getting worse . As soon as they open they close with the demand . In a what I think is a massive queue after searching for an hour . Just to try and do a job for another customer whose desperate . No fuel then back to the yard and park the truck #BorisHasFailedTheNation

From March 2022 ALL commercial vehicles over 2500 up to 3500 KGS need to adhere to new rules to transport goods to Europe- it appears the “exemption” does not include travel to the EU . If this is the case it’s huge-expect the virtual collapse of the express transport industry
This is my own exemption - the stupid thing is you don’t need this for the U.K. . Only travel into Europe .
Final confirmation coming in March 2022 .. that’s leaves hardly any time to get prepared . What a mess

Well if you wanted to see what brexit has done to all incoming commercial traffic . This is Calais port now - queuing for miles outside the port to get in . Hours waiting now . I hate this shit
@mrjamesob it’s not looking good !
Lots of trucks pushing in . It’s going to get interesting

Five days to go until importing into the U.K. becomes a nightmare. Then there is may when all vans need an ops licence and transport manager to drive on the continent. I think from here there will be a massive drop off of drivers/ owner drivers small companies. Sunlit uplands
The cost of transport by vans up to 3500kgs is going to significantly increase . Reg numbers must match the import documents - and you have to specify your route into the U.K. . Co-loading is as good as dead . It’s suddenly become a bit more specialised now .
It benefits no one . Prior to brexit - you could have ten jobs on your van , reducing costs to customers. Whilst increasing your profitability per run. That’s gone. Now it’s one job out and one job in . Can’t risk one job if another has incorrect paperwork = stuck in customs

Just a heads up - expect a potentially massive downturn in goods coming to the U.K. - or out - seems the rules have changed and drivers now need a PCR test to enter DE .
Isn’t this a result of crazily high figures daily for months now with no face masks ? If this also includes drivers transiting - I suspect it is. -no one will come here

From 01/01/22 full customs clearance becomes reality- that means up to 10,000 trucks a day in and out of Calais / folkestone being subject to full clearance. That means having to stop and collect customs papers and surrender docs upon entry. 1/2
Sevington inland border facility has the capacity for 475 trucks . If 10% of trucks have to stop on their way IN to clear customs the entire place would be inundated within hours . And that doesn’t include the outbound commercial traffic trying to collect their paperwork
Put it this way- if the U.K. used the green/ orange traffic light system for trucks on inbound freight from the EU-U.K. and only 10% of trucks get called in That’s TWICE the capacity of the largest inland border clearance facility closest to the point of entry from the EU

Want to stump leavers who claim to think they are experts on exports ? Want to put a series of questions to them that’s GUARANTEED not to get a reply ? I’ll post a few below .. guaranteed to end an argument ( and from direct experience .... 👇
It’s 5PM on a Friday night and a bank holiday looms- you need to get out an exhibition and exhibits ( screens / machines / Merchandise )to berlin by Saturday pm for an exhibition on Sunday , but have no paperwork . What do you do ?
You are a supplier for a car plant making components for an airbag - and based in spain . It’s mega urgent and needs to be transported ASAP for delivery within 24 hours . But your agent isn’t open until the morning . What do you do ?
