RHA Protests on The New Requirements for Operating Longer Semitrailers (LSTs)

From having welcomed LSTs’ approval for use at the end of May, it now raises its voice on the extraordinary new demands being placed on use of these trailers.

It appears operators are already looking at parking up LSTs as the processes for their use mount up, such things as individual risk assessments for every route with drivers required to hold copies of both route plans and assessments.

We can only hope the Government sees sense and allows the safe operation of LSTs to be cared for by those very same operators who already monitor their own safety measures so effectively.

In the meantime, at Dawsongroup truck and trailer we have thousands of trailers from skeletals, flatbeds, step frames, boxes, curtain siders up to multi-temps. So whatever you might be looking to use, it’s always worth giving us a call first, and taking advantage of our range of contract hire, lease and rental options. Not only can we offer you exceptional assets, but our maintenance service and Smarter Asset Strategy allows you to take advantage of all the benefits of usership, with none of the risks of ownership. Whatever requirements come into place in future, our team can ensure that you stay well within them.
