🚛 Excited to see the National Lorry Week kicking off today! It's an excellent opportunity to highlight the indispensable role that the haulage industry plays in our economy and daily lives. Kudos to Richard James Smith of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) for centering this year’s campaign around 'skills and careers.' As we know, the transport and logistics sector offers a wide array of rewarding career paths, and it's important to inspire the next generation to consider a future in this vital field. The interactive experiences, like the driving simulator, are innovative ways to engage and educate potential drivers about the reality of operating HGVs. ZeroMission is especially eager to see how this will spark interest among young people looking for dynamic career choices. Let's rally behind the message: the haulage industry is not just essential; it's an aspirational career path filled with opportunities! Let’s make this National Lorry Week a success and celebrate the hard work of those who keep our economy moving. #NationalLorryWeek #RoadHaulage #SkillsAndCareers #Logistics #TransportIndustry Fleet News https://lnkd.in/e9_K2QvK

🚨 ROUNDABOUT SHOWDOWN: WHO’S REALLY TO BLAME? Folks, let’s break this down because nothing raises my blood pressure like a roundabout drama that has trust issues written all over it The Scene: 👉 A Truck in the right lane, blinker flashing like it owns the roundabout 👉 A little Camry in the left lane, determined to go straight without backing down What happens next? A bit of chaos The truck swings left (classic wide-turn move), and BOOM! 💥- Camry gets pinned to the kerb 🚚 The truck says, “I need space, mate.” 🚗 The Camry says, “Stay in your lane, bro.” Meanwhile, the roundabout watches like, “Not my problem.” In the end? The Camry climbs the kerb like it’s auditioning for 4WD Outback Adventures and everyone leaves into the sunset with their nerves a little worse for wear This clip is sparking debates online. Here are the hot takes: 1️⃣ The Camry should've respected the “Do Not Overtake Turning Vehicle” sign 2️⃣ The “Do Not Overtake Turning Vehicle” rule does not apply in this case 3️⃣ The truck should have claimed both lanes earlier in the approach 💬 We need your verdict logistics pros: 😂 Team Truck: “Big rigs need room, baby!” 😡 Team Camry: “Stay in your lane, mate!” 👉 Hit LIKE, FOLLOW and SHARE for more logistics debates you didn’t know you needed! 🚛✨ P.S.

Travelling across the nation on a daily basis and with one of our locations in Seaforth, we know the area well and what truckstops are recommended to take a break in. In this article, we list 5 truckstops near the port of Liverpool describing prices, features, parking and petrol to help HGV drivers choose where to stop. We know how important it is for drivers to take regular breaks and we want to provide helpful information for them to do so. https://lnkd.in/e_hDvpT2 #Truckstops #PortOfLiverpool #HGVDrivers #Logistics

As we're in the midst of Road Safety Week, we thought we'd take a closer look at our in-house transport team and the steps they take to make us industry leaders. By organising delivery routes, our in house-fleet of vehicles and supporting our network on HGV drivers, our transport division play a crucial role in day-to-day operations at MGF. Check out this video of when we first opened our Scotland depot. #weareMGF #RoadSafetyWeek #Transport

National Lorry Week is an initiative by Road Haulage Association (RHA) that celebrates the industry and the people driving business on UK roads. One of National Lorry Week’s aims is to emphasise the importance of ensuring the supply chain continues to operate efficiently – and that’s where automotive glazing companies come in. When we train our technicians, we equip them with the skills and knowledge to work on most vehicles, including Lorries, so the sector can continue to work as effectively as possible with minimal disruption. Changing HGV windscreens isn’t too different from changing them on cars – the tools are the same, and the vehicle off-road time isn’t much longer than that of a car replacement. The main difference is that access equipment needs erecting for the work to be completed safely and properly. A lorry windscreen isn’t as heavy as you might think – typically between 25kg and 40kg. It's not too late to get involved in #NationalLorryWeek, find out more about it on RHA’s website here: https://lnkd.in/dFTjPKZ
