“High-Vis, Higher Stakes”: Depot Tightens Floor Rules After Near-Miss
Courier Weekly understands no injuries were reported, but staff described a “pause everything” moment when a reversing van and an unsecured pallet almost shared the same bit of air. New briefings are rolling out — and one familiar face is suddenly everywhere.
About Courier Weekly
Courier Weekly is an independent industry paper covering the logistics sector, its workers, and the systems that move goods from one place to another — sometimes smoothly, sometimes not.
We report the stories we hear: depot disputes, contract shifts, near-misses, regulatory bulletins, and the quieter incidents that never quite make it into official summaries. Not every account can be verified. Not every explanation is complete. That is the nature of the work.
Our reporting draws on sources across the delivery network — drivers, managers, union representatives, regulators, and those who prefer not to be named. Where facts are disputed, we say so. Where questions remain, we leave them open.
Courier Weekly does not speak for any courier company, trade body, or authority. We publish what can be confirmed, note what cannot, and allow readers to reach their own conclusions.
Corrections are printed when necessary. Notices are posted when required. The kettle is usually on.
