Freight transport’s 3Cs

Motor Transport Editor and freight industry expert, Steve Hobson has written a BVRLA Blog this week to share his thoughts about why the road freight transport industry could be said to be a ‘3C’ industry.

In his blog Steve comments; “The road freight transport industry could be said to be a ‘3C’ industry – the three Cs being cost, compliance and competition.

“Until recently compliance largely meant obeying legal requirements to abide by the Construction & Use regulations for vehicles and the provisions of the company’s operator licence. While the Traffic Commissioners would argue that these still present many transport managers working for the UK’s 80,000 O-licence holders with significant challenges, the list of compliance schemes has ballooned in the last few years.”

Steve goes on to explore the three Cs in relation to owning a business in the freight transport industry.
