INCOHESIVE REGULATION IS HARMING HAULAGE

The Road Haulage Association has once again warned against locally created safety standards regulating haulage.
The warning comes as Transport for London launches its next phase of consultation on its controversial Direct Vision Standard (DVS) which categorises HGVs by a driver’s vision from the cab.
The RHA is concerned about a growing trend of local authorities imposing their own regulations on the sector putting many businesses at risk.
RHA chief executive, Richard Burnett said that lorries operate nationally and internationally so should be regulated on those bases.
“We fully support the drive to improve safety, but we need the right measures delivered in the right way. DVS and other locally devised policies such as clean air zone charging are a huge concern for an industry which needs and deserves cohesive regulation.”
The RHA will be responding to the consultation before its 23 May deadline.

Speaking  to Air Cargo News , he said changing market conditions several years ago revealed that the airline had concentrated too much on creating a global footprint and not enough on developing other key areas of the business such as the technology, which customers are demanding to improve business processes. “Abu Dhabi is right in the middle of the Europe – Asia corridor, the world’s busiest trade lane,” he explains. “In the past, we ...

CONTAINERS, DRUGS, GUNS & MONEY

              With Cargo Crime on the Rise, CakeBoxx is an Effective Security Solution In the last week there have been over $1B in container-related drug seizures in major US east coast ports, involving world class, C-TPAT Tier 3 companies. Astounding – yes! But what about all those container security programs? The exploitation of intermodal shipping containers as a conveyance for illegal drugs, weapons and other illicit materials has never been greater. More containers, bigger ships, increasing market driven need for speed – even the most diligent shippers are susceptible to the sophistication of modern-day supply chain crime. Everything scales. No doubt that advanced data, process management and container tracking systems are invaluable tools for today’s fast-paced supply chains. But, there is nothing like real ‘physical’ security to deter crime, protect your customers, your cargo and your reputation. CakeBoxx two...
