Neither Police or self/private escorts are covered in legislation & Police cannot charge unless specifically requested (case law). HTA & RHA letters to NPCC & Chief Constables requesting clarification of their policy on Police escorts for #AbnormalLoads rb.gy/m7e223

#AbnormalLoads - transport bodies urge police to apply rules consistently. Hauliers said some forces enforcing blanket movement embargoes, and deviating from legislative guidance. More: bit.ly/3J0TEfY @HT_Association @BHHPA @NCCLtd

"It is the responsibility of hauliers to satisfy themselves that their own escort personnel are sufficiently competent to undertake the task of escorting abnormal loads. Competent means that they are suitably trained and qualified for the role."

RHA and @HT_Association are alerting operators moving abnormal loads, specifically through West Midlands and Staffordshire, that @WMPolice
@StaffsPolice are checking, through “Operation Nightstare” that loads being moved are legal, safe, and compliant. bit.ly/3VWZH9M

Apologies to anyone held up on the A379 this morning whilst we escorted this #WideLoad to #Dawlish #SouthDevon. Never an easy route with such a large load. #AbLoads @HTAsafer
