BERESFORD Transport Ltd, of' High Street, Stokeon-Trent, was last week fined £250 at Gloucester magistrates' court after one of its lorries was found to be over-loaded with glazed tiles.
The company admitted using a goods vehicle with excessive gross weight, and using a vehicle with excessive weight on the second axle.
Mr Stanley Pritchett, prosecuting, said that on January 24 a lorry belonging to the company, driven by Mr Thomas Atkinson, of St Martins Road, Stoke, was stopped by police in Gloucester. It was carrying a load of gland tiles 20 per cent over the legal weight on the second axle.
Defending the company, Mr Martin Jones said the five previous convictions was not very much for a firm with 195 vehicles on the road.
