The owner driver of this truck, Bob Carmichael retired today. Although I've never met him but a mate of mine has and I think my mate said he came from the Stratford upon avon area. We only live 9 miles away from there so I've seen this truck in the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire area alot. Not only that but about 5 years ago I saw it up near darlington. All the very best for your retirement Bob.
Seen the old Girl today in Brough rest area. My one regret was that I didn't spot her till I was past the entry otherwise I would have been in for a closer look.
This old girl must have paid for it self 10 times over surely that crane must be one of the oldest working examples surely this truck will preserved when it's time for it to have a easier life it must have carried thousands of tons in its life Just shows you how good 70s trucks were built
she still runs and works too this day in the uk mate. owned and driven by a fella called bob carmichael. although it has a euro 6 engine now though so somewhat less original haha.
Extra malgré quelques points de rouilles, je pense que le propriétaire aime trop le conduire alors une restauration serait trop longue. Alors toujours au boulot ! 👍👍 The Rolling Stones ! 💪💪
I cant remember where he's from exactually but he's a close friend to me dads. His names Graham if me mind serves me right. You'll manly see him round Chirk at Kronospan and he always get chatting to him when they see each other. He's a really nice bloke and certainty got some brilliant stories haha. He had that truck from a second owner who only had for about a month or something like that and then brought the trailer brand new and had it custom made with a different crane and some other pieces.
You better let the supermarkets know about that as they use this configuration quite a lot. Also on many UK islands you can see a 3 axle unit pulling a single axle trailer.

Still earning in 2021. Saw it just the other day. Absolute class.
Very nice to see one of these old beauties still working 40 years on - 1.50 - you can't have an F88 without cab rust..!

Anyone interested in an Volvo N88?
Don't know when that was taken, butit's illegal to pull a tandem trailer with a tri axle unit.
You better let the supermarkets know about that as they use this configuration quite a lot.
Also on many UK islands you can see a 3 axle unit pulling a single axle trailer.
Thats a towing eye matey it's never had another trailer attached
I thought that's what we call running at 40 tons not 44 any normal HGV driver should know that
Well that’s funny just got a brand new Volvo tag axle and Tandem trailer in uk
