Logistics UK releases 2024 Yearbook of Road Transport Law
Road Operator members should begin receiving their 2024 Yearbook of Road Transport Law this week – if they haven’t already – and it remains as essential as ever for road transport operator across the UK.
Long established as the authoritative source of legal and compliance information in the UK, the Yearbook of Road Transport Law is a vast, meticulous repository of facts and information on topics ranging from operator licensing and registration, to drivers’ hours and vehicle weights and dimensions.
This year sees a new section entitled ‘Organisational responsibilities’ to safely and methodically cover employment law, employment remuneration and taxes, health and safety, workplace transport and insurance.
Key revisions have also been made to create a new ‘Alternative fuels and vehicles’ section, to pay close attention to GB’s new 20mph speed limits, to update guidance on low traffic neighbourhoods and quiet streets and, amongst numerous other careful modifications, to update the information regarding longer semi-trailers.
This publication will help keep you abreast of developments across the industry to ensure the continued safety and compliance of your operation and ensure our members respond to UK needs in the best way possible.
The online version is available here and is compatible with any mobile device. Each Road Operator member receives one copy. Should you require more they are available in the Shop here.

In brief
Red Sea conflict increases air cargo demand
According to research by Bolloré Logistics, the “volatile” situation in the Red Sea – which has resulted in higher rates, increased transit times and supply chain delays – will inevitably squeeze air freight capacity until the situation is resolved.
“The increased ocean transit times will put pressure on inventories and have an immediate repercussion on air freight capacities, with significant price hikes expected on major trades,” said the company at the end of December, adding that it anticipates additional air freight capacity between mid-January and early February ex-China.
A multinational defence force, Operation Prosperity Guardian (OPG) was set up last month in an attempt to safeguard commercial shipping in the Red Sea. But weeks on from the start of the conflict, shipping companies remain cautious about operations in the area.
