“HAULIER” in italiano

a major haulier between Europe and Asia

The immediate impulse for Eurotunnel seeking action to close down Sangatte was the extension by Labour in 1998 of the Carrier Liability Act from airlines to road hauliers .

But he said that, if asked to do so by the Road Haulage Association, he would park up his vehicles for a week to show the country how important a service was provided by hauliers .

The protesters are a mixture of farmers, hauliers and road haulage contractors.

In crude terms, the hauliers have more public sympathy than the farmers, who already receive low duty ‘red’ diesel and billions in farming subsidies.
