With bad to severe weather looming over the horizon for many of the UK’s drivers and ‘road warriors’, Haulage Exchange has issued timely advice on how to keep moving, whether you have good road conditions or not. The fact is that many drivers, especially those working in the haulage industry, tend to be all cocky and careless, judging their safety in the immediate future based on their years of experience on the road. But a spokesperson from the UK’s leading online freight exchange says that the coming winter season may have unpleasant surprises, and the best way to manage the potential dangers is to be as proactive as possible.

Haulage Exchange advises that every driver should have an emergency kit that has sufficient supplies and can be used in the event of an accident or a breakdown in the midst of adverse weather. The online freight exchange insists that such an emergency kit is not optional but is an absolute must, considering that weather systems tend to behave much more unpredictably than ever due to the consequence of global warming. The company also firmly advises that drivers and hauliers must closely monitor the road condition through the Highway Agency’s advisories. The UK has about a thousand snowploughs and salt spreaders that usually work around the clock during the worst of bad weather just to ensure that the network of major roads stay open, but even such a fleet may not be enough in the face of severe weather.

As one of the UK’s leading online freight exchanges, Haulage Exchange has been in a unique vantage position to see what works and what does not as far as the haulage industry is concerned. The organisation sees hundreds of thousands of movements in its daily exchange operation that directly benefits thousands of hauliers and keeps about twelve thousand vehicles profitably busy.
