Increases in road haulage can be expressed in terms either of tonnage or ton-mile, although both figures need to be treated with reservation bearing in mind the effect of transhipment between collection, delivery and trunk vehicles.
With those reservations in mind, in 1955 997m. tons or 23,000m, ton-miles were operated by goods vehicles. By 1965 the corresponding figures were 1,430m. tons or 41,000m. ton-miles.
