Just a random thought I had after being parked near John Raymonds yard in Cannock this week and seeing the some of the delights Nolan transport run… A red (very faded and tired looking) Iveco Stalis was the oldest I saw on a 2004 plate and numerous 2005 white DAF XF’s space cabs in a similar condition.
seems strange an Irish firm running old scrap like that tbh considering how big they are, The money must be worth it to the drivers

Colin Barrett wins . Oldest on the fleet of almost all ERF is a C reg ERF .Edit that’s 1986
we have a current fleet ranging from 04 up to 13 plate. Only a year ago we exported a little s reg scannie 94 220 which was on its 3rd time round the clock… very doubtful any currently new wagon could get anywhere near that.
Morn flake have a fleet of very nice old motors. Thompsons of devon have a old fleet of renaults, A R newport of penzance, old tidy motors, decent bloke who runs it too. As been mentioned, e w gardners, not sure they will be about much now tho
There is an older Scania that looks really well, and passes my DAF like I’m stopped. Sure it has the England at Scotland flags at 45deg to each other on the back of the trailers. I seem to think R I Haulage from Nelson is the company.
Ayres from Norfolk way, mostly ERF`s and now DAFs as they get older…No idea what age as I am driving and too busy to look at plates, but they must be getting on and they mainly do sugar beet, so they must all be capable of 70MPH
