Empty running on the rise – Paragon Routing
Charles Nockold
According to statistics from the Department for Transport (DfT)1, the percentage of UK trucks running empty has been on the rise in recent years. While figures dropped from 31% in 1984 to 26% percent in 2001, levels have increased since then reaching 29% in 2014. With green fingers already pointing at the industry’s contribution to CO2 levels, we really cannot afford to let empty running by trucks go unchecked.
