Businesses urged not to deal with rogue truckers

The Irish Road Haulage Association has called on Irish businesses to ensure that they are employing properly licensed truckers to transport their goods.

The IRHA made the call following a garda raid on a counterfeiting operation in Co Louth which was allegedly making false insurance documents and driving licences.

IRHA president Eamon Morrissey said the problem of truck drivers operating without valid licences, tax and insurance was growing in Ireland.

"This is definitely becoming rampant in the haulage industry," he said.
