Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

BJ&C Carberry had humble origins. We chart its course from one truck to monster load handling fleet...

Carberry began In road transport with Claire, his wife, in 1984. "I started as an owner-driver, with a Scania 111," he remembers. He was on container work, and pulled skeletal trailers for other operators.

"We bought a second vehicle we had two trucks for six years, and then we got a third vehicle."

Carberry trucks ran to Felixstowe, Harwich, and Ipswich. "We then bought a fourth vehicle, and two flats, which we used to carry mobile work units for Eastern Plant Services."

He had entered the world of truckmounted-cranes, too. Skel lies don't automatically lead to other road transport sectors. But cranes mean that an operator can handle a wider variety of consignments. This lifting capability led him into the land of abnormal loads,in which the firm has flourished, confident enough in the future to establish its own escort service.
