Book excerpt: This encyclopaedic reference work is the first to address in depth the subject of road haulage in Britain. Whereas there is extensive literature on the development of passenger road transport during the twentieth century, little of substance has been published about the contribution of road haulage to Britain's economic progress. The book presents some 600 cross-referenced articles on the history of road freight transport in Britain in the twentieth century. The book covers business, economic, legal, administrative, technical and social aspects, from the very beginning of the motor vehicle era, through the slow transition from horse-drawn transport, to modern heavy lorries.
