Lorry drivers, simply going to the loo is an ordeal or degrading issue a plastic bag and a bottle in 2020 – an ordeal faced on a daily basis
Meanwhile, private companies – in some cases, companies that drivers are delivering to directly – are refusing access to their toilets And a lack of basic hygiene can be harmful for drivers as well as the general public – let’s not forget that they transport and handle everything we use, every day.
And it's easy to forget just how vital lorry drivers are.
