U.K. to Ease Curbs on Foreign Trucks to Help With Supply Crunch

The British government is considering suspending restrictions on the number of drop-offs that foreign truck drivers can make on trips to the U.K. in an effort to ease the country’s supply-chain problems.

Under proposals set out Thursday, Foreign trucks will be able make an unlimited number of stops during a two-week period after entering the U.K., potentially facilitating thousands of extra deliveries, the Department for Transport said in a statement. The new regime could come into force toward the end of the year and would last for six months.
