Road haulage has long been seen as a male-dominated industry. Walk into most depots or glance at a passing lorry and the stereotype holds true. But times are changing — slowly — and more women are beginning to see opportunities within this vital sector.

Clean Air Zones (CAZs) are being rolled out across the UK to reduce harmful emissions in towns and cities. For communities, the benefits are clear: cleaner air, healthier lives, and progress towards environmental goals. But for road haulage operators, the reality is far more complicated.

HGV drivers are the backbone of the UK supply chain. They spend long hours on the road delivering the goods that keep the country running — yet when it comes to basic facilities at service areas, they are too often let down.

Behind every successful haulage operation is a Transport Manager working tirelessly to keep things moving. But in today’s climate, their role is more challenging than ever.
