RHA Introduces New Trusted Haulage Company Directory for UK Businesses

The Road Haulage Association (RHA) has unveiled a directory of trusted haulage companies, therefore allowing businesses throughout the UK to hire haulage companies with complete peace of mind.

London (I-Newswire) September 21, 2012 - The UK’s most trusted authority on the haulage industry, the Road Haulage Association, has introduced a directory where businesses throughout the UK can find trustworthy haulage companies with a great reputation for delivering the best in customer service and results. This is the first time the RHA has attempted something like this and the directory is expected to be a focal point for anyone working within this industry. The ease of use of the system – possible customers can search by location, cargo and keywords – will also mean that this is somewhere more and more people visit, as they can find information extremely quickly.

The directory will be found on the RHA website and will be open to any haulage company to apply to be on. It is a completely impartial service though, so if the companies want to increase their reputation here, they will have to ensure that they receive feedback of the highest order from their clients. Those haulage companies that fail to please their customers will surely suffer, as there are many other companies out there looking to take their business from them.

The fact that more haulage companies should appear over the next few years, thanks to the more level playing field, will also increase the need to provide top notch service. All this will, of course, be a real boon for consumers, who are always looking for the best companies to work with, especially during these tough economic times where getting as much as possible for the cost of a service is parmount.

The fact that this is being launched as the government makes plans to charge foreign hauliers a fee of £1000 per year to work in the UK makes this development even more significant. As the government looks to level the playing field – i.e. make it easier for British hauliers to compete with foreign companies – UK haulage companies will be more and more in demand. Finding the right haulage company is extremely important for a business – in terms of time, security and price – so this will be invaluable to businesses.

As the RHA grows its membership and more companies appear on the directory, the real impact will be seen. At the moment we can only speculate about the impact it will have on the industry, but in a year or two we’ll see the results. It is obvious that it is a positive step forward, but how much of a step forward still remains to be seen.
