Because of emergency COVID-19 a truck on four is firm in the large squares



Because of the emergency coronavirus, in Italy a truck on four is inactive. It has emphasized Trasportounito evidencing that the Italian road haulage risks a technical arrest warrant outlining a block in mobility to the goods from and for all the destinations of the Country. 25% of the Italian heavy means fleet are firm - it has explained the trade-union association of category - because many leading refuse to execute the services are for fear of the contagions are for the insufficient availability of the necessary services of base for leading, as the no entry to the haulers to toilets and centers of catering. Moreover ports and centers of refuel/defuel are by now inaccessible, with forced means to pause for hours and therefore to endure indefensible economic conditions. To this one joins to the fact that the transits to the borders (Austria, Slovenia) have been transformed in nightmares and that in many cases the means are arrest warrants with goods on board because to the trucks has not been allowed the drainage because of you strike you improvise or for lack of protective devices. Moreover - it has specified Trasportounito - the reviews to heavy means are cancelled and send back, and therefore thousands of means are outside game.

The result - Trasportounito has explained - is a pull-up of the tension and stress inside of the world of the road haulage, with an increasing number of operators and companies that are being prepared to suspend to indeterminate time the activity. "Hence - the general secretary of the association has asserted, Maurizio Longo - the risk of a technical arrest warrant that would block the entire logistic and distributive chain of the Country, not certainly for guilt or responsibility of the road haulage".

While the president of FAI-Conftrasporto, Paolo Uggè, has written to the ministra of Infrastructures and the Transports, Paola De Micheli, and to the head department of the Civil Protection, Angelo Borrelli, renewing the demand to guarantee supplying of templates for the field of the road haulage and the logistics. "In consideration of the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic, to the aim to allow the flood and long-lasting operating continuity of the services of transport and logistics - he has observed Boredoms - more and more indispensable he is to be able to have of the personal protective apparatus, templates on all, today become unavailable. In such sense, to the aim of being able to give a direct and effective contribution - it has written Boredoms - we confirm our availability to offer to our associative territorial net with centers to provincial level, as distributive net of the same templates and add that we would be also available to support the cost for a supply consisting of the same templates.

Also UNATRAS president (National Unione of the Associations of the Road haulage Goods), Amedeo Genedani, has written to the government having signaled the criticalities for the activity of the haulers in this moment of emergency. In the letter to the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, and to ministra De Micheli, Genedani has explained that "the entrepreneurs of the road haulage and above all the drivers find themselves to having to daily manage a kind of "ostracism" by the various operators with which they must necessarily interact for being able to operate, in particular in the phases of cargo and drainage of the goods. While from a part the caution of the enterprises is comprehensible our outsourcers whom they want to protect employee own limiting every physical contact, from the other he is absolutely insufferable for our drivers to be dealt as, I assure to them, "animals plague-spreaders", without being able neither to have use of in many cases of the toilets, also in the full respect of the sanitary cautions hygienic of the case. Al fine to exceed such unacceptable behaviors and to protect the job and the dignity of the drivers in particular - the UNATRAS president has written - we would ask to perhaps assume the role of "sensitizer" to out of the customary one, but we sure consider fundamental to clear the coherent climate and with the objective to exceed with the emergency. We would ask therefore to make a public appeal in order to raise awareness the enterprises outsourcers so that they adopt behaviors adapted towards the drivers and in practice they strive in order to characterize business measures and internal procedures that our drivers contemplate to the sanitary aims hygienic".
