• Fixed contract fees will be replaced by performancerelated charges in the 1990s, according to transport consultant Bernard Warner.
He also predicts that customers with dedicated distribution contracts will begin to demand more information on service quality, productivity and unit costs.
In a speech at the National Carriers Contract Services Distribution Forum, he claimed that although UK distribution had been deregulated since 1980, hauliers face two distinct disadvantages in the Single European Market.
Trade and outlook in the UK is more insular than in other European Countries, and the opening of the Channel Tunnel could lead to other EC countries flooding the British market, rather than vice versa, warned Warner.
