Keywords : Stalybridge

CHARTERED FLEET.—At the present stage the Ministry is calling up only the heavier classes of vehicle, but this does not mean that offers of vehicles of, say, less than 8 tons will not be considered. The total number of vehicles offered up ba the end of last week (including those now on charter) was 3,369, of which about 1,664 are classed as " possibles."

POOL APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. C. T. M. Fairclough having been appointed a member of the Road Haulage (Operations) Advisory Committee thus becomes a member of the Main Pool Committee. Mr. Alfred Allen, of Alfred Allen (Stalybridge), Ltd., has now been appointed a member of the Manchester H.N.T.P. Committee vice Mr. P. J. Fisher, who has resigned. CARGO.—The meat and general traffio. moved under the scheme in the week ended June 12 was 127,400 tons (livestock and scrap movements excluded).

DEFENCE LINES.—A further 370 vehicles were enrolled in the week ended June 13, bringing the total to nearly 35,400.

sATTACHEO.—Members of the staff at H.Q. have intima,ted that whilst they are anxious to avoid a pin-pricking policy towards others they will cheerfully submit to pin-pricks themselves , if members of the Pool will discontinue the use of staples. It seems that receipt notes (H.P.3D.) are commonly sent in stapled to invoices, and on arrival at H.Q. have to be laboriously separated, with the result that many get torn in the process. So will hauliers please ask their staffs to use pins—Which, incidentally, can be used again. A small " point," but one which will save a lot of time in dealing with the thousands of documents which have ta be regularly handled in the course of routine work.
