Thank you for all the pictures of lorries from a bygone age . I grew up in the 1970/80s and was lorry mad as a young boy ,my dad got a brand new Volvo F86 in 1977 it was painted red, white and Blue and was expertly sign written and it looked so cool I often hope while browsing your pictures that I might get Lucky and see a picture of it ! White heart timber service was the company name and was based out of Tottenham north London. I now live in Canada and drive a Beautiful Peterbilt 389 pulling heavy haul 7 axle trailers grossing out at 63,500 tonne ,who'd of thought that the young scruffy snotty nosed oik would one day make good and become a trucker just like his dad !!!! 🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧 Thanks again for taking me back to the days when life just seemed better !
The Seddon Atkinson Strato with the Cabtec Cab was a very special truck. I remember that a local Scania operator brought in some Iveco Eurotech 420s on long distance Fridge work because they could buy 5 Eurotech 420s for the price of 4 Scania 143 420s.
I've seen a few pics of companies where I've worked on this channel, the two EVL, DAF & Merc, we only had 8, be interested to know where the photos came from, both taken in the yard. The Merc looks brand new, just delivered.
You either were a truck driver or you wasn't no inbetween I loved it trampped for greenwood's barleycastle Stretton and suttons all 40ft flats great days hard but great
My nightmare returning the awfull guy big j with a 180 gardner wore a thick coat while driving it was that cold a massive steering wheel a uncomfortable cab with a big bonnet inside so no room and rope and sheets all the drivers had arm's like Popeye then ,
Drove most trucks during my career No1 worst guy big j day cab 180 Gardner only thing big was the steering wheel i was tramping in this bag off crap heater only blew cold because off gardner engine and when starting from cold it was like fog with fumes, Parker's transport bolton,
