CO-ORDINATION OF SERVICES
DIFFICULTIES IN WAY OF CARRIERS
The difficulties in the way of the co-ordination of carriers’ services were the subject of comment yesterday when a carrier applied to the No. 4 Transport Licensing Authority (Mr S. V. Raines) for a renewal of his goods service licence. Evidence earlier in the week had shown that town carriers were loth to co-ordinate, said Mr Raines. He had then made a suggestion that an officer be appointed whose job it would be to take the initiative in negotiations. He asked the Southland District Motor Transport Association to consider the proposal and support it. If such an officer were appointed it would take the responsibility off the operators to co-ordinate. A carrier: There have been repercussions so far as we are concerned.
When some operators made bona fide efforts to co-ordinate there were other operators who could not get round quickly enough to tell customers all about it and what they thought of it, said Mr Raines. “If I took the initiative and tried to conduct negotiations, it would put me in an impossible position,” he said.
