Logistics UK urges a shift in perspective regarding HGV drivers.

Transport Focus’ Year 2 Lorry Drivers’ Facilities Survey reveals rising dissatisfaction among HGV drivers regarding rest stop quality, linking safety perceptions to rest quality. Maddi Solloway-Price from Logistics UK emphasized that the lack of safe, high-quality facilities is harming driver well-being, contributing to freight crime, and complicating recruitment efforts. While some improvements are noted, urgent action is needed to enhance driver facilities and recognize their importance in the logistics sector, which significantly contributes to the UK economy. A national review and planning integration for truck stops are being advocated.
