THAT was a very lively brains trust session at the RHA conference last week. The panel certainly covered some ground, and I was happy to hear so many questions of immediate practical importance asked.
One question very close to hauliers' hearts rebounded a bit in a rather surprising way. R. B. Brittain sought the panel's views on the success of the jointly organized demurrage campaign. How, he asked, could carriers deal with motor manufacturers who often detained vehicles for many hours?
The panel agreed that the campaign had been put over efficiently but it hadn't altered customer habits nearly as much as everyone had hoped. A. R. Butt thought RHA, THC and BR should get together again on this—further progress required united action, he thought.
Back came S. C. Robbins (BR) to say that the Railways Board was tightening up on this—they had had to criticize road haulage customers in Scotland for undue detention of Vehicles!
