ARATES guide for long-distance hauliers is soon to be published by the Road Haulage Association, coupled to a "code of conduct." The guide is intended to be confidential and will be available only to R:H.A. members, who will have to pay £3 10s. for a copy.
It is not a rates schedule. Operators offering special services will expect to charge higher rates than those in the guide, the R.H.A. stated this week,
• The guide was compiled from rates submitted to the long-distance group or the R.H.A. by hauliers in 77 "key towns," chosen • for their position. Basic rates were then calculated for various consignments and tonnages between the
key points. A total of 140,000 rates were thus assembled. It is the tremendous work involved in this compilation which. to a large extent, decided the R.H.A. to charge for the guide.
The guide will be in the form of 79 code numbers, ranging from the lowest classification of traffic over the shortest distance to the highest classification over the longest route. Each code number corresponds to six different rates per ton.
FINDING THE WINNER
THE Vehicle Security Committee of the Road Haulage Association are to meet on Tuesday to consider the entries received for the competition to find the best security device. About 50 entries were submitted.
On Wednesday, the R.H.A. licensing committee will again consider the thorny question of the unlawful operation of vehicles on building and road construction works. They will also give further consideration to a general review of the licensing system.
The public relations.committee and the long-distance committee are due to meet next Thursday.
