Hi jim in the same mag there was a piece about permitting 60 and 80 ton road trains, with a pic. of a 60 ton one sitting in a haulers yard.

The government are considering these options to help alleviate the shortage in drivers.

Hi Olley
Yes I've read about these proposals, I don't disbelieve what you read, but I'll be dammed if I can find any regulations that say a coach can be more than 12 mt ..
I have written to the FTA (Freight Transport Association) asking for clarification.. I've not had a reply yet.
