Thanks Wheel Nut
Having spoken to my dad about this we managed to remember that the scottish arm was Youngs transport and we also took some drivers on when the hanging goods haulier Scorpio Transport was closed down by United Carriers.
Scorpio transport ran mainly Leylands in a gloss black finish…
Hudsons livery was red and white,the old BRS colours??, and i had quite a few motors while i was there.
My first regular drive when i started driving full time with them was a 0608 Ford D series followed by a 0709 D series.Neither in thier first flush of youth 
I had a X plate…SJX 513 X… plate Ford Cargo for a while.We,the mechanics and i, ended up calling it the six day wonder.
I wont have 13 in my car plates after that now 
My regular truck was a MAN 8.150 with a sleeper pod.What a sweetheart of a motor…I drove that for over six years and put an average 100kpa on her
Her diff broke on the A15 one day going into Lincoln and they wouldnt replace it…She only had 750,000km on the clock too 
I left after they got a certain transport manager in and before the company was closed down.
