A NEW business survey of the road haulage industry has been published, giving an overall picture of the state of the industry.
The economic role and position of road haulage within the country's national economy is also explained and the report claims that road haulage moves 99 per cent of Britain's food, 93 per cent of its chemicals and 96 per cent of its building materials.
It contrasts what it calls the "losses in the road haulage industry public sector with private hauliers' profits". Specific examples of companies in each sector are given, along with revealing profit figures and other "salient ratios".
Further details about the report are available from Key Note Publications, 22 Danbury Street, London Ni
