They've had three weeks to get the legal lettering updated, if that is the issue...
I questioned the Union about legal lettering and apparently the only part which is a legal requirement now is the 'Doxford International address', the company isn't relevant apparently, although I'm still doubtful.
As for getting drivers to come in on their rest days, it can be a lot harder than you think. There are quite a few drivers who refuse to work any overtime at all, which is why leading drivers or management usually do it.
