I—NELAY in obtaining the chassis 1--/ wanted for their first tanker vehicle has meant that North Western Milk Carriers Ltd. will not now begin operating on September 1. "The tanker will not be on the road until sometime in October ". one of the directors, Mr. F. Swain. told The Commercial Motor on Wednesday.
They have been promised delivery of a Dodge 309 13-ft. 7-in.-wheelbase chassis for mid-September. Andrews Bros. (Bristol) Ltd. of Liverpool will then fit a 1,750-gal., two-compartment, vacuum tank constructed to M.M.B. specification.
North Western Milk Carriers were formed earlier this year (as reported in The Commercial Motor, May 29). by four independent churn hauliers. 3. S. Basford of 011erton, C. A. Ryder of Northwich, W. P. Twibell of Mobberley, and F. Swain of Prestbury, following the Milk Marketing Board's preference for bulk collections from farm to dairy. The four—who continue to act independently in the general haulage sphere—decided to buy one tanker, initially, to collect milk from Cheshire farms for delivery to Healds Dairies, Didsbury.
Mr. T. L. Watson, the Milk Marketing Board's regional transport officer, said at Newcastle-under-Lyme that since the bulk scheme came into operation on May 1, the Board have used one of their own tankers from their Wilmslow depot to collect from those farmers who have already installed the necessary equipment.
"We will continue collecting until North Western have their vehicle ready." said Mr. Watson. "They are fortunate, really, for they will be taking over a full-load, whereas other hauliers have had to start with perhaps a 1.000-gallon collection and then build up. With another farmer' in the area coming into the scheme today (Wednesday) our road tanker is now collecting 1,600 gallons daily. This will be taken over by North Western when they are ready."
