driver's wages for a six-tonner averaging 800 miles a week at £12 14s 3d with no mention of overtime. Isn't this unrealistic?
AA feature of G and A is its brevity. While we try to be comprehensive, some points do fail to appear. This is an instance. From time to time the point is raised in our companion feature, "Advice on Transport Problems". Readers have had this particular point explained to them on several occasions when operating costs were discussed, and it is dealt with at length in the introduction to the "Tables of Operating Costs" under the heading of wages.
Briefly, while overtime would be incurred
when 800 miles a week were averaged, the variations possible in that amount of overtime because of different types of operation, are so great that it would be equally unrealistic to try to evolve some -averageamount of overtime according to mileage. In the circumstances it is considered better to give the basic
amount to which individual operators can add the amount of overtime which applies in their case, and was intended in last week's example.
