FTA chief executive David Wells (right) fears the government may try to blame the haulage industry for "failing to plan" for a no-deal Brexit in the event of subsequent road transport disruption. He said that the organisation is doing all it can to avoid significant issues post-Brexit and is stepping up pressure on the government to address a range of "big concerns". In particular, Wells has urged the government to relax financial rules on O-licence applications for smaller operators. "Let's say there's a massive queue at Dover and a big supply chain issue," he told CM. "I fear the industry will be blamed - that we'll be set up."
