Conclusion
Once the transition period ends, considerable responsibility will fall on hauliers and individual drivers to be as prepared as possible for the additional checks and processes that will be at place at the border with the EU. We therefore share the disappointment of the sector at the delay in producing the guidance, including the hauliers handbook, that will be required for freight operators.

The haulier handbook was launched on 18 November. It is one part of a wider package the Government has put in place to help and guide hauliers, which also includes the roll out of 46 Information and Advice Sites. Two of these are in Wales, at Roadking (for Holyhead) and Pont Abraham (for Fishguard & Pembroke Dock) There is also a multimillion pound information campaign running both across the UK and Europe. • The handbook explains complex procedures that hauliers and drivers will need to follow. Government has worked with stakeholders to make it as clear as possible. Both Logistics UK and the RHA were extensively involved in reviewing drafts
