Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• As the Carleton, Carlisle, depot of BRSL is to lose its haulage -service in the spring, the Cumberland Export Club has decided to switch its groupage dock delivery service from the depot to a private haulage firm, H. and M. Fearon, Low Ireby, near Wigton, as from January 11. The new service will deliver to container bases or groupage terminals at Manchester and a Liverpool dock carrier.

Just retired from the chairmanship of the Export Club is Mr Walter Felman, the 40-year-old head of the export sales team of the Penguin Confectionery factory at Carlisle and the sister company of Carter and Sons, Sheffield.

Mr Felman helped to found the club, which has just completed its first year with a membership increased from 15 to 35 exporters from all parts of Cumberland, meeting regularly for social and informative purposes. The club was set up to enable firms to send through a group transport system small export consignments collectively to the ship, as hauliers were reluctant to handle part-loads. The new service now runs loads to Manchester and Liverpool.
