THE application by Pointer's Transport Services, Ltd., Norwich, to have most of their 8, fleet switched to A licence was granted at Norwich last week. Mr. W. P. S. Ormond, the Eastern Licensing Authority, said that in the absence of customer evidence, the transfer of two low-loaders and a car-transporter from B to A licence would be refused. The application for the remaining 42
vehicles would be granted. • " It is in my view in the public interest to increase the operation and efficiency of a tipper fleet of this kind in reasonably full employment, by enabling the vehicles to be freely interchanged, as would be the case under an A licence." said Mr. Ormond.
.Normal user for the fleet will now read: "Excavated building and road materials, plant, agricultural goods mainly within the county of Norfolk and all work for the Pointer group."
