0:00 A load that has already lost money
2:11 The driver shortage changes the choices
6:47 OTIF scores and penalties passed down the chain
9:43 Waiting at fulfilment centres and lost driving time
14:16 Booking windows, pallet rules and rejected loads
17:25 Empty trailers, returns freight and hidden delays
23:04 High-value freight and the cost of risk
30:51 Secure parking and the final pressure on drivers
I examine why owner-drivers and small fleets are quietly turning down work connected to Amazon and Tesco, even when the rate initially looks worthwhile. The video follows the hidden cost of waiting, missed bookings, deductions and lost driving time.
I break down the pressure created by driver shortages, OTIF penalties, automated booking systems, trailer shortages, returns freight and high-value loads. I also look at fuel, insurance, road charges, security rules and the shrinking margins behind British haulage.
Finally, I explain how the shortage of secure lorry parking turns a delayed delivery into a safety, compliance and profitability problem — and why drivers increasingly remember bad sites by postcode and choose the next load instead.

* The Companies Should Pay Waiting Time For Drivers.
* If The Technology Fails. That Is The Company's Fault.
I CAN'T BELIEVE! How Drivers Are Treated By Companies. They Are Effectively Being Subsidised By The Drivers. !!! STEALING MONEY FROM DRIVERS!!!
If These Companies Had To Pay For These Failures They Would Sort Out The Defects In Their Systems Very Quickly!!!
The Terms Of Contracts Of These Companies Impose on Drivers Is CRIMINAL!!!
