Roadway – The Podcast: Episode 1 – The Truck Cartel Claim

In this first episode of Roadway – The Podcast, RHA Managing Director Richard Smith speaks with Steven Meyerhoff of legal firm Backhouse Jones and Abby Harnwell, Finance Director at the RHA joins the conversation about one of the most significant legal battles in UK road transport - the Truck Cartel Claim.

Together, they unpack how major truck manufacturers were fined billions for price-fixing, what it means for UK hauliers, and how the RHA is pursuing fair compensation for affected operators.

Between 1997 and 2011, major truck manufacturers were found guilty of price fixing — and the RHA is leading a group claim on behalf of thousands of operators to seek fair compensation.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How the cartel operated and what the manufacturers were fined for

• Why the RHA brought this claim - and the journey so far

• The scale and complexity of the legal process

• What members can expect as the case moves forward

• Why standing up for the industry matters more than ever

Clear, confident and conversational, this episode brings listeners inside the story of a legal fight that could return millions to the road transport sector - and reshape how the industry is treated in future. https://www.truckcartellegalaction.com/ https://www.rha.uk.net/ Contact: [e-mail]
