IE NATIONAL Freight Corration has reported March having been one of the siest periods in its trading tory. A spokesman for the rporation said in London s week that there had been unprecedented boom in ffic with sub contractors at )remium. He pointed out Lt all NFC's subcontractors re vetted and registered bee engagement.
The reason for the upsurge traffic was created by a cklog which had accumued during the haulage strike d the worst winter on :ord. January and Februas weather and industrial nditions cost NFC £6.m ording to the spokesman. -le said that even although Corporation's companies re not involved in the dis:e they had suffered at the ads of secondary pickets, a Jation which an incoming ry government has pro;ed to rectify.
'...ven without the strike :ording to NFC there would ie been considerable loss of .enue. Weather conditions had affected not only road and rail services but had, it was said, affected factory production. The March boom is now over but traffic in April is reported to be up on the same period last year.
