certain what effect the WorkingTime Directive (WTD) will have on the transport industry.
You have drivers who believe a substantial pay rise is imminent. Others believe the regulations and current rates of pay will make HGV driving a non-viable option. On the other hand! have heard tales of employers brainwashing drivers that the regulation "won't affect us. as it is only with regard to driving time".
