Shipping of Fleet House, Lancaster Approach in North Killingholme, 1135 in fines and costs last week when the company was prosecuted before the Birmingham City Magistrates.
Barbara Stubbs, prosecuting for the West Midland Licensing Authority, said that traffic examiner David Davies had noticed that there had been no spray-suppression gear on the semitrailer when a Renault artic, carrying a load of steel balls in drums, had been stopped in a records check on the northbound carriageway of the M6 at Perry Barr.
In a letter to the court, the company!s solicitors said they had been waiting for spray suppression equipment to be delivered, not having any in stock.
