More than two thirds of HGV drivers want to leave the EU, according to a survey from the FairFuelUK (FFUK) campaign.
Of the 1,973 HGV drivers that took part in the campaign’s survey on Thursday's referendum, 69% said they planned to vote in favour of a Brexit.
Just 15% of the drivers said they would vote to remain, while 14% said they were undecided. The remaining 2% said they would not say or did not intend to vote.
A poll by Motortransport.co.uk also found the industry to be in favour of leaving the EU, with 55% of 657 respondents stating they planned to vote to leave.
FFUK’s survey also found 81% of 4,138 van drivers want to leave the EU, with 10% in favour of staying and 7% undecided.
FFUK spokesman Quentin Willson said: “If you’re wondering why white van man holds the Brussels EU liberal elite in such contempt, look at it from his side.
“Blizzards of needless legislation, disregard for UK sovereignty, uncontrolled migration that forces down wages and a monster yearly EU budget contribution that seems to support everybody but UK workers are just some of the reasons. The UK’s hard-working small businesses are asking what the EU has ever done for them?”
The campaign surveyed a total of 27,834 UK motorists, 76% of whom were in favour of leaving the EU.
