21 April 2020
Enquiries into FTA’s Member Advice Centre (MAC) have more than doubled since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Common questions relate to the furloughing of drivers; medical certificates due to expire; relaxation of drivers’ hours rules; and calibration of tachographs.

The advice team are some of most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the industry, with each bringing their own specialism into the mix; we are determined to help logistics professionals through this difficult time as much as possible.”
