Isuzu Truck (UK) expands dealer network with Commercial Motors (Wales) in Newport

Hertfordshire-based Carters Haulage entered administration after expanding from one lorry to 40 in just three years to service a blue chip client and then losing the business months later.

DX Group has sold five of its properties and taken a loan from its biggest shareholder to pay back a bank loan.

Road haulage rates have risen only fractionally in the last two years, provisional figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown.
