The factories have the hauliers fighting each other for the loads, if you think they have the cattle price cut you'd die of fright if you seen some of the margins hauliers are working for and they won't stick together to get rates up. Hauliers would rather cut rates and drivers wages, if they had any gumption about them they could have the country on it's knees begging, they needn't even protest or blockade anywhere just park all trucks for 4 or 5 days and say absolutely nothing but no they'll cut rates and have worse shiny metal disease than some farmers, then tell anyone that they think will believe them that there's nothing in it.
Forget about Irish or English hauliers doing anything, you'd have some hope if it was the French you were dealing with.
