Next week’s Conservative Party Conference in Manchester (4-7 October) will see the Road Haulage Association (RHA) attending as an exhibitor.
As part of this initiative, the Road Haulage Association will be demonstrating the high skill levels required to drive a heavy goods vehicle and are inviting all visitors to the stand to take part in a ‘Top Gear’ style challenge on a truck simulator. The aim is to beat a score set by the industry’s very own ‘Stig’, Allan Marsh. Allan won the Microlise Driver of the Year competition against a field of over 90,000 drivers using Microlise’s own telematics software and we know that he’ll set a good score. But, as with all competitions, a high score can always be broken.
This forms part of National Lorry Week (26-31 October), aimed at boosting the profile of the industry with the general public, schoolchildren and college leavers, as well as those looking for a change of career.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to put their driving skills to the test. The Road Haulage Association will be on stand 53 in the conference exhibition area.
