1-1 ED by Mr. D. 0. Good, chairman of South Western Traffics and former chairmau of the RHA Devon and Cornwall area, 22 hauliers leave on Monday for France for a "research tour of inter-Continental haulage operations".
The port authorities of Cherbourg and Le Havre will take them over the two freight centres and they will meet French hauliers to discuss reciprocal arrangements in full.
It is a joint RHA-South Western Traffics venture and all the hauliers taking part are members of the SWT. Mr. R. H. Insoll, RHA international secretary, and Mr. W. E. Foster, RHA Devon and Cornwall secretary, will be accompanying the party.
Mr. Good told COMMERCIAL MOTOR this week: "The whole idea is to enable the operators to get to grips with inter-Continental haulage and to learn all we can about operations between the UK and France and elsewhere.
"Apart from round-table discussions with French hauliers, we will be meeting the French trade Press and there is no doubt our discussions will be mutually profitable."
