The RHA have stated that the Manston truck trials are going to have to be repeated. The Kent truck trial at the Manston airport is part of the contingency plan. This has been a huge success for over 89 HGVS. The RHA chief executive who is known as Richard Burnett has stated that they want to have a plan, and that it is good for them. They do however believe that the limited scope trial will need to be repeated numerous times so that they can do a stress-test on it. This is to make sure that it can keep up with the demands of the community and so that they can do any tweaks as well. They have also stated that they are going to have to learn how to manage thousands of lorries properly as well. The trial cannot possibly indicate any result for the 4,000 trucks that are being held at the Manston airport and this is especially the case when you look at the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. They have also stated that the whole is happening a little bit late.

The process should have really started well over 9 months ago. At this stage it looks like there is a window dressing, but there are hopes that the whole thing is going to come together soon. Of course, only time will tell if this is the case but a lot of people who work in driver recruitment or even in a driving agency are certainly going to be affected by this. Of course, it is important to know that there are high hopes for everything to go through properly. If you need some support, then keep on checking back to see if any movements have been made.
