What the petition asks
Instead of putting more work on already overworked drivers bring in Legislation to drastically reduce loading/unloading times at distribution centres to free up thousands of more vehicles and help solve the #DriverShortage
Distribution centres are a law unto themselves. It’s common to lose several hours of your working day in these warehouses loading & unloading. Set a 1 hour limit to assist the #DriverShortage and to stop drivers bearing the brunt and compromising safety by increasing work load. Other countries have limits, so should we.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
