Description

Grab your copy of The UK HGV Driver's Guide 👇 https://terry-collins.opdivize.com/ 0:00 Seven British transport companies that went under, some almost overnight 2:04 Sunhill Transport 4:01 B. Taylor and Sons Transport 5:11 Gulliver's Truck Hire 6:32 total home delivery 10:41 Knights of Old 13:46 Tufnell's Parcels Express 16:38 CityLink I investigate seven British transport companies that collapsed, from long-established hauliers to a parcel giant that failed on Christmas Eve. I follow what happened to their staff, contractors and owner-drivers when the money stopped moving. I cover rising fuel costs, falling demand, ransomware, failed rescues and the difference between being an employee and being self-employed. I also explain how the Redundancy Payment Service works, where its limits are, and why unsecured creditors can be left with almost nothing. I finish with practical lessons for drivers, including payment terms, unpaid wages, pension contributions and protective awards. These are real company failures involving Sunhill Transport, B. Taylor and Sons Transport, Gulliver's Truck Hire, total home delivery, Knights of Old, Tufnell's Parcels Express and CityLink.
