MANY hauliers complain that there is no readily actessible source of information from which they can assess transport trends and needs, and monitor the activities of other operators in the 12 traffic courts throughout the country. Their den-lands are, met by an exclusive new feature which The Commercial Motor introduces this week. _ It contains a summary of the important applications listed in Applications and Decisions for each traffic area, including particularly those by newcomers, claims for additional vehicles, and proposals to switch from contract-A to public carriers' licences. This information will be given each week and the decisions will be published as soon as they are known. , This feature should meet an acute need by ensuring that applications which affect operators in other traffic areas are brought to the notice of possible objectors. In the past, the only method of obtaining these details has been to scrutinize every issue of Applications and Decisions from the 12 traffic areas. This new service is given only by The Commercial Motor, and has the support of all the Licensing Authorities except one.
Every quarter, traffic trends and needs in the light of prevailing industrial activity will be surveyed. A general picture relating to important traffics, such as steel, coal, meat and other refrigerated commodities, parcels, livestock and so on, will be presented. The compilation of this information demands a great deal of patient research, but The Commercial Motor is confident that the response of readers will make the effort well worth while.
