!THE six-vehkle contract A to full
I ordinary A application by Shepherd's Transport (Enfield), Ltd., reported in The Commercial Motor of October 27, has been granted in full by Mr. D. 1. R. Muir, the Metropolitan Licensing Authority.
The three customers whose six vehicles were involved had agreed to surrender their rights of exclusive use in the expectation that the marrying up of loads would provide economies in operation to the haulier which would avoid passing on to them the increasing costs of running the vehicles.
Mr. Muir had deferred his decision in order to consider further the judgment of the Court of Appeal in the Arnold Transport (Rochester), Ltd., case. In a written decision, Mr. Muir said that the likelihood of serious abstraction from the established carriers (there were 15 objectors) was negligible.
