Welcome to the Operators' Blog, associated with RoadTransport.com. This will be a place for commercial vehicle operators to sound off about the industry, government, enforcement, customers and rivals - or anything else that's bothering them or exciting them.
You are welcome to add your own comments to our bloggers' entries - please do so!
Finally, if you are a transport operator who would like to get involved as a blogger, please email me - I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Roadtransport.com is looking for bloggers: we want to hear from operators at the sharp end of the transport industry with opinions, experience and something to say.

If you are an operator - whether you own your own firm or work for somebody else - and you can devote a little time each week to writing a blog entry, we'd love you to share your opinions and experiences with us and with the thousands of other operators and suppliers who read Roadtransport.com.

Writing a blog entry is straightforward, and we will happily help you every step of the way. If you are at all interested please email me.

Thanks in advance.
