ONLY a proper costing exercise will prove whether it is cheaper for an international haulier to accept higher ferry rates and save on fuel in the UK, or whether a cheaper freight rate does save money in relation to the complete journey on both sides of the water. This is explanned by the late Johnny Johnson in his introductory remarks on tactice in A Transport Manager's Guide to International Freighting.
So no little book, however well written, is going to do a complete job for you. What our ex-colleague does do is to provide a guide to the facts. This book is a ready reference manual for the transport manager handling traffic for international destinations. Comprehensive data is given on the regulations affecting the transport of goods overseas by road.
Every European country is covered both within and outside the EEC, as well as the Middle East and transit countries such as Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. A country by country summary of legislation and practice is provided, with additional data on ports, warehousing and containerisation, and ferry operators.
The reader has information at his fingertips on documentation, customs conventions, carriage of dangerous goods and perishable foodstuffs, freight forwarders, insurance, recovery, drivers' hours and
tachographs. J.F.D. A Transport Managers' Guide to International Freighting by Johnny Johnson is published by Kogan Page, 120 Pentonville Road, London Ni and produced in collaboration with Transport International Pool. Price £6.95.
