ONE Scottish haulage concern, Sam Anderson (Newhouse) Ltd., is in the happy position of not having to bother with the problem of return loads and low rates. So heavy is the demand from steel customers for the company's vehicles, that they return empty from over the Border and, for good measure, whenever possible, they pick-a-back, saving fuel and tyre wear. This practice'first started during fuel rationing.
THE understatement of the year, by a British Transport Commission _advocate objecting to an application by Sam Anderson .(Newhouse), Ltd., for eight additional articulated units on A.
licence: Referring to an increase of more than £100,000 in 12 months, he said, "We must agree that there is to a certain extent an increase in the applicants' earnings."
A LTHOUGH it has now become I. an accepted principle that there is nothing to prevent an applicant from being granted an A licence with a normal user confined to the goods of one customer, there are still some who believe that a more appropriate licence would be a B with provision for return loading where necessary. Enforcement of normal user is difficult, but a B-licence condition is a different matter.
