• Many hauliers in the North Notts coalfield area must be waiting with bated breath and scepticism for the outcome of the Road Haulage Association's application to the Office of Fair Trading to issue cost advice to hauliers.
At least a dozen established tipper operators were recently undercut by as much as 25% by a company owned by an executive member of the RHA. If people like this are going to give advice on running charges I predict a drastic increase in bankruptcies.
May I also congratulate Commercial Motor on its editor's comment piece, "Highway robbery". I agree 100% and I hope that the Department of Transport takes note. It would be tragic to see a repeat of some of the bizarre scenes I have witnessed in Spain where convoys of trucks bypass deserted toll roads and use minor roads to avoid paying tolls.
