Speculation about the inroads which own-account operators might make in hauliers' traffic have been rife ever since C-licensees were given new freedom under the Transport Act. Next week in a big special number—Transport for Traders—CM reveals the extent to which one large operator has moved into the field of carrying for hire and reward, and the expansion which has proved possible. Other features in this special July 9 issue will interest both haulage and ownaccount men. For example:— • Electric vehicles—present and future prospects, and a summary of models.
• The legal and licensing implications of contract hire examined. • Night or day deliveries? A practical CM trial which even counts the gearchanges. • A food producer who puts all his transport in hauliers' hands—for very sound reasons.
• Retaining your 0 licence; some of the pitfalls outlined. • Local distribution problems, seen through the eyes of a big operator.
