DURING January and February over 75 per cent. of collections from Manchester docks were arranged in advance through the docks delivery office, which commenced operations at the beginning of the year. Altogether, 11,174 vehicles collected goods from the docks during the two months.
At present, operators have to telephone the docks a day in advance to arrange for prompt attention to be given to their vehicles. But the scheme is to be speeded up so that an afternoon booking can be made the same morning.
The docks manager said that it facilitated better planning of labour and saved hours for road operators.
