Truckfest - Colin Ward | EP 151 |
Q: Was it an easy thing to organize the first Truckfest, and were you surprised when people actually turned up?
Ward explains there was significant stress around the initial idea and weather, but the turnout exceeded expectations and established the festival as a durable annual event.
Sue Alty & Ruth Tuffnell | EP 139 |
Q: Start with you, Sue. How did you first kind of end up in the world of trucking?
Sue describes an accidental transition from retail logistics into HR and consultancy, then pivoting into logistics and trucking after COVID highlighted gaps, leading to the MyTruckStop concept as a solution to driver welfare and feedback.
Transport News Weekly | EP 146 |
Q: How might current political and global events affect UK haulage in the near term?
Prolonged Middle East tensions and associated fuel price volatility are likely to keep drivers and fleets cautious, with potential government action on fuel duty and economic measures to mitigate cost pressures.
Transport News Weekly | EP 146 |
Q: What are the main headlines from Transport News Magazine this week?
Kevin Swallow highlights fuel price pressures, supply disruptions, and corporate movements in the UK fleet sector, along with evolving topics like fuel duty policy, fleet modernization, and environmental enforcement.
Transport News Weekly | EP 152 |
Q: So, what was your favourite bit then?
The entire weekend was a blur, but switching the station on Saturday morning and seeing it all come together—the setup worked, the audience reacted, and the sticker board filled up—felt like a defining moment that made the hard work worth it.
