vURNITURE removers and hauliers 1. of indivisible loads will be greatly affected by the latest development within the British Transport Commission, whereby the Hay's Wharf Cartage Co., Ltd.. and Pickfords, Ltd., will be transferred to the Road Haulage Executive on January 1.
Vehicles formerly run by these concerns will in future presumably be run under R.H.E. authorization and not on A or B licences. The R.H.E. thereby enters the field of excluded traffic with substantial transport facilities which it can run in competition with private companies bound by the normal licensing system.
"As a matter of administrative convenience, the Road Haulage Executive, in the early stages of its organization, operated through the medium of limited liability companies," says a statement issued this week. `-" The company structure has already largely disappeared, and the last remaining companies dealing with specialized traffics will be merged into the Executive's organization on January 1, 1950. The companies to be merged include the Pickford and Hay's Wharf Cartage group of companies, the trade names of which will continue to be used in association with the Executive's general trading title British Road Services."
