Exclusive extras as members
Available on request and free to European Road Freight Service subscribers, Own Account documents are available to those who only hold restricted operator licences and consequently cannot produce a Community Authorisation when travelling within the EU. These documents are usually sufficient to explain that your activities are on own account and not professional haulage; and keep most officials satisfied.
In addition to great savings is the Manager's Guide to Distribution Costs - This annual guide lets you effectively monitor your transport costs using expert advice and quarterly updates on wages trends, vehicle operating costs and haulage rate trends, as well as forecasts and information on warehouse costs and how to manage fuel costs. Add this additional benefit (£375).
