No. However, the Logistics Strategy Forum’s predecessor, the Road Distribution Action Group, which represented trade associations, trades unions and other stakeholders, expressed concerns about fatigue and sleep disorders among drivers. Their work was taken up by the Department for Transport, which leads on driver health-related issues such as driver hours, medical fitness to drive and rest facilities at the roadside.
