Three special topics will be examined in features to be published in COMMERCIAL Mo-ron next week. They are :—
• Flat-rate agreements between a large industrial customer and contract hauliers simplify accounting and provide operators with a stable basis for running their vehicles. Ashley Taylor describes the system in detail.
• Driver training is now becoming widely recognized as offering net gains through reduced accidents and higher efficiency. This is particularly important to tanker operators and Ron Cater examines the methods adopted in a big fleet.
• Passenger services in isolated areas are under constant economic pressure; Paul Moody reveals how one independent operator has managed to keep going in the shadow of a much bigger undertaking.
Also in CM March 29: advice on transport management, answers to readers' queries, plus news, views and lively comment.
