News out last week suggested that Stowaway fines are on the rise with latest figures showing a 90% increase compared to the prior year.

In 2009 3,245 fines were issued, which was up from 1,700 in 2008 and fines collected so far from 2009 total £1.6m revenue for the UK Borders Agency.

Last month saw the European parliament vote to include self employed truck drivers within the scope of the Working Time Directive for Truck and Bus drivers, which will mean that self employed drivers will be limited to 48 hours a week to include all aspects of the job.

In the past self employed drivers could spend up to 56 hours a week driving so long as they were not driving for more than 90 hours over a fortnight.

This will simply heap more pressure on the industry unless this decision is reversed by the European Commission

TruckInsure at the UK Truckshow!

TruckInsure were pleased to once again sponsor the UK Truckshow held at Santa Pod Raceway. In stifling temperatures of over 30degrees our guests made full use of the TruckInsure VIP area and enjoyed front row seats to take in all the action. With racing trucks reaching speeds of 100mph and the infamous Fireforce, the 300mph jet car our guests had a fantastic time watching all the action. A lucky few even had the opportunity to race down the drag strip in the UK's only 2 seater dragster reaching speeds of 170mph and completing the 1/4 mile strip in just 8 seconds!

TruckInsure are at the Shropshire Truckshow!

TruckInsure were proud to once again sponsor the Shropshire Truck Show held at Oswestry Showground. In a dramatic change from recent years, the truckshow was bathed in glorious sunshine for most of the weekend and there were no umbrellas in sight.

Our VIP area proved popular, as did the TruckInsure branded two seater dragster. We were pleased to extend our hospitality to Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) and our guests had front row seats to watch the exciting arena entertainment.

TruckInsure are proud to be the title sponsor of the Shropshire Truckshow for the 4th year. This year, TruckInsure will be hosting a VIP area within Oswestry Showground and have invited selected fleet owners, to join them for a complimentary buffet and bar!

As well as title sponsors, we are also pleased to be sponsors of the prestigious best kept Working Truck aware category and Overall Best in Show, amongst others.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet both the existing clients and potential new ones in a close knit community of truckers!

TruckInsure Sponsors UK Truck Show for 3rd Year

On 27th-28th June, TruckInsure were once again proud sponsors of the UK Truckshow for the 3rd consecutive year. This year we offered people the opportunity to enter our free prize draw to win one of eight rides in our twin seater dragster, which at its fastest clocked 172.2 mph!

With the benefit of our VIP enclosure overlooking the start line, our guests enjoyed a fun filled day, filled with noisy engines, burning rubber, a few drinks and obviously the bellow of the jet car as it prepared to clock up an amazing 247mph.

TruckInsure would like to thank all those who attended and made it a spectacular weekend.
