I look at unsafe overnight parking, bridge strikes, clean air charges, landslips, cargo theft, Dover queues and the rules that make London so unforgiving for HGV drivers. I also explain why the risk of delays, fines and break-ins often falls on the driver. Finally, I examine what could make these jobs safer and more workable, from proper lorry parks and freight crime funding to better sat-navs, support for owner-drivers and a border plan that keeps freight moving.
