Talking steel, conference success, alarm on the M6, and 2020 plans

摘要

This month I talk steel in Staffordshire and Tom Geggus witnesses some alarming overloads on the M6. The Cullimore Group raises the flag for National Lorry Week 2020, and we look at driver agencies and the history and future of the 8x4 spec. We even have an appearance by Martin Clunes (thank you Deardens Haulage). Our campaigning and policy news includes the latest on the Association's continuing discussions with DVSA about the availability of ATF testing, and we also include details of the last autumn briefings of the year, organised by the regional offices.
