• Mr. E. Carter, chairman of the Grimsby sub-area of the Road Haulage Association, has warned that a substantial increase in haulage rates is inevitable.
In a statement on behalf of the subcommittee representing South Humberside haulage contractors, he said negotiations had been taking place in the area between hauliers and drivers' representatives following the recent strikes in the Hull area over drivers' rates of pay and agreements which were now being reached would result in a substantial rise in wage costs, Some of the increase would be recovered owing to increased productivity but full costs could not be offset or absorbed.
