RIEFUSING an application by Haley (Haulage), Ltd., Bradford, for an extra vehicle on A licence to carry woollen textiles between Goole and Bradford, Mr. J. H. Randolph, Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, last week told them that he was probably doing them a favour.
The British Transport Commission. objectors, alleged that Haley were being forced by various shipping and forwarding agents to carry at ridiculously low rates.
It was impossible to obtain hired haulage at short notice to collect imported wool from Goole docks, said Mr. Barker, a director of Haley. He denied that hauliers were refusing work because the rate was low, but agreed he had
approached only members of the Road Haulage Association in the Bradford area.
Mr. Dawson, of Lep Transport, said that there was intense competition between shipping and forwarding agents, and that they had to bargain with haulage contractors to get rates down. He accused British Railways of rate-cutting. In recent months they had started offering extremely keen prices.
For the applicants, Mr. P_ Kenny suggested that the allegation of ratecutting was a red herring invented by R.R. His clients were being paid the standard rates.
Mr. Randolph said there was no lack of haulage. The wool traffic was being handled by sub-contractors.
