Rayvin 8367 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 My next door neighbour is a lorry driver who brings over fresh fish from France. He was saying that there's a time threshold on the delivery for the fish to still count as fresh that's under 24 hours from the time of catching it. Apparently it's now taking 2 days to process things through customs which is compromising this standard. He also told me that what was once a 3 day round trip is now a 5 day one - I don't know which way he voted or if he did at all, but he thinks they'll have to change it or whole industries are going to collapse. I mean he's just a lorry driver in the end, but I'm assuming he's pretty familiar with the product he and his colleagues are shipping, and what the requirements are.

Lot's of drivers are paid by the "Km travelled" sitting not moving for 2 extra days is not an incentive The salaried one's companies will just pass on those extra costs. Saw something yesterday where drivers were complaining that their allowed hours driving expired whilst waiting for the check's to be done and they had no-where to go, their tachographs will log they were driving illegally if they move on. Utter carnage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter carnage. Conversely I have heard many European hauliers (which make up 85% of personnel involved with UK EU freight movement) are paid per job. If they are stuck for days in a covid infested Kent lorry park they won't get paid. Many will just sack it off. What then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we eat turnips and beetroot (per job rate will likely be calculated on distance to travel I reckon). 3 day jobs taking 5 near on 40% reduction in their earning potential.

ewerk 39291 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 No cherry picking! Plus there would still have to be some checks and paperwork to ensure that what is in the lorry is what is stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, these are not teething issues, these are intractable issues caused by leaving the single market which we will have to live with forever. It will make our exports unattractive, our imports expensive, and as for services... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 42163 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Without watching more than about 10 seconds of that video, surely that infers leaving the EU had made illegal immigration worse. As for the patter about the fishing industry, they’re fucked. In 5 years time they’ll still be fucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
