Rogue hauliers face Garda crackdown

ROGUE haulage operators are to face a Garda crackdown after claims that up to a fifth of all hauliers operating in Ireland are bogus.

Eddie Rock, Garda assistant commissioner, revealed plans for new multi-agency checkpoints near border crossings, at sea ports and elsewhere targeting the industry.

The senior officer in charge of the Garda Traffic Corps said there were indications that a significant number of operators were not registered or licensed.
