Gents, good evening. Would anyone recall the operator that was based in Rouen in the early - mid 70’s. The name ’ Tranports Dubois’ wants to spring to mind, not too sure if this correct, or an all too easy stereotype! Mainly hauling tank trailers, the tractors were, apparently, all ‘home made’ to a pattern of bull nose/ forward control/ day cab / gun metal gray. I gave one of their drivers a lift one Friday night from the services east of Paris to the Rouen Juction , whilst en Route to Cherbourg. In an effort to engage in frienldy chat i tried to ask him about their operation, he replied that all the employees were forbidden to discuss anything to do with the company. Later on there was an article in the UK trade press about an interview with the proprier ’ Monsieur Dubois’ , which took part, at his invitation in in offices at Rouen. The Reporter was greeted with a handshake, a coffee and croissant, and spent the entire allotted 1/2 hour wrestling with one word answers from M. Dobois.
